Study Notes

True / False / Not Given in IELTS

Learners encounter True/False tasks in both reading and listening exercises.
IELTS Reading introduces a third option: Not Given, in addition to True and False.
Many candidates struggle particularly with identifying the Not Given option.
A common misconception is that these questions are designed to trick candidates.
The questions aim to develop critical reading skills and enhance comprehension.
Distinguish between True, False, and Not Given:
- True: the statement is accurate according to the text.
- False: the statement is explicitly incorrect based on the text.
- Not Given: the text does not provide sufficient information to determine the truth of the statement.
A Not Given statement indicates uncertainty; the text neither confirms nor denies its validity.
