Core concepts
Concept 1
Completion answers must fit the meaning, grammar and word limit stated in the instruction.
Exam cue: Predict the missing part of speech and then locate the matching passage idea.
Concept 2
Inference is a conclusion supported by the text, not an outside prediction.
Exam cue: Count words and numbers under the stated limit.
Concept 3
Reading answers normally follow passage evidence, but the candidate must still verify spelling and singular or plural form.
Exam cue: Ask which exact words make an inferred conclusion necessary or most strongly supported.
