Reading: Exercise 3 (Note-taking)

Exercise 3 of Paper 1 is a reading task, where a short passage is given and you are asked to make notes
on it under the headings given. This is again, an easy enough task but you need to be careful to ensure
that you’re writing the correct points.

Let’s dive straight into it.

Read the headings


First, reading the headings given in the question will be the best course of action. It will tell you what
information you need to find from the passage and copy into your answer.

found anywhere, but usually goes in a chronological order.

Write down the points under each heading.


You don’t have to write in full sentences
You can copy the text as it is from the passage
No marks will be deducted for spelling/punctuation/grammar errors
You should only write one point per line given. Thus, all points that you could write do not have
to be wri en. In the example above, for heading one I have marked three points, but there are
only two line, so write any of the two.

That’s about. It’s again, like the previous question, an information transfer. You just need to know what
the relevant information is and where you should put it.

Time management

For the core paper 1, spend about 10 minutes on this question.
