      Skimming and Scanning:

      Skimming: Practice quickly reading through the text to get a general idea of the content. This skill helps you understand the main topics and structure of the passages.
      Scanning: Learn to locate specific information or keywords within the text swiftly. This technique is vital for answering questions that require you to find particular details.
      Time Management:

      Use IELTS reading practice tests to develop effective time management strategies. Aim to complete each section within the allocated time to ensure you can answer all questions without rushing.
      Understanding Question Types:

      Familiarize yourself with the various question types, such as multiple-choice, matching headings, true/false/not given, and sentence completion. Practice identifying and answering these questions correctly.

        Yes, I agree. Students need to practice these skills on a lot of test papers.
