Hi Carlo. Don’t waste time by reading the whole passage too closely (2 minutes max!) and also don’t spend too long on 1 particular question - you only have about 90 seconds per question, so if you get stuck, mark the part of the passage that contains the answer and come back to it later.
Answer global questions like matching paragraph headings first as these help you learn more about the passage and where the answers to the more specific questions will be. Lastly, don’t leave any questions unanswered particularly multiple choice.
Remember the questions come in order, so you don’t need to keep re reading the text. Hope this helps.
I will try! Grazie
