Core concepts
Concept 1
General Training Reading Section 2 focuses on workplace information and training contexts.
Exam cue: Locate the role, procedure, policy stage or employment condition named in the question.
Concept 2
Separate mandatory duties, recommendations, permissions and prohibitions by following modal and procedural language.
Exam cue: Track must, may, should, can and must not precisely.
Concept 3
For True, False or Not Given decisions, compare only the stated claim with the text and do not add workplace assumptions.
Exam cue: Distinguish contradiction from missing information before selecting False or Not Given.

Memory anchors
Workplace Source
Identify whether the text is a policy, contract, role description or training instruction.
Duty
A duty states what a worker is required to do.
Permission
May or can allows an action but does not necessarily require it.

Must not and prohibited establish a clear negative rule.
Procedure Order
Follow stages and conditions in the sequence given by the text.
True
True means the statement agrees with information explicitly provided.
False
False means the statement contradicts information explicitly provided.
Not Given
Not Given means the text does not decide the statement.
Role Boundary
Attach each responsibility to the correct worker or department.
Policy Evidence
Base the answer on exact policy language, not what usually happens at work.
Checkpoint rule
Do the check-up only after you can summarize each concept in one sentence and identify one dangerous pitfall from memory.
