Study by question type, then apply the method in timed reading practice.
After each passage, analyse not only the wrong answers but also why the trap looked tempting.
This book is valuable because IELTS Reading is rarely beaten by vocabulary alone. Many learners read reasonably well in normal situations but still underperform in the exam because they misread task demands, waste time, or fall into predictable traps. Reading Skills addresses exactly that layer of performance. It teaches exam intelligence, not just reading ability, and that distinction is often what unlocks the next band.
