not assess your comprehension of the paragraphs, It does

not test how well you have understood the passage It tests

specific skills called scanning and skimming

Scanning is what one does, for example, when looking for a phone number in a directory You know the specific

information you are looking for and you go down the page

quickly to find it This technique is used when answering

questions such as multiple-choice and matching You scan

the passage to quickly find the information mentioned in the

question Once you find it, you get the answer from the

passage and write it against the question -
