This is also a requirement to join certain professions in these countries such as medical profession (doctors, pharmacist and lab technicians). The latter one, however, is for migration and work purposes.

TYPE OF QUESTIONS:
There can be different types of questions in the reading test, for example, fill in the blanks, multiple choice questions, matching headings with paragraphs, True/False etc.
- Multiple choice questions: In this category of questions, either a complete sentence is given and the candidate has to find its answer from a group of options, or a part of the sentence is given and the candidate has to complete the sentence by selecting an option out of the given multiple options. In this category, the questions are given in the same order as that of the text in the passage. So, a candidate can work on them in a sequence.
- True/False/Not Given: The candidate is expected to identify whether a given sentence agrees with the information given in the passage or not. These questions may also take the form of Yes/No/Not Given, so, the candidate needs to be very careful in writing the answers as writing “True” in place of “Yes” is not acceptable. In this category, the questions are given in the same order as that of the text in the passage. So, a candidate can work on them in a sequence.
- Matching: Headings & Other Information
- Fill in the blanks: In IELTS Reading, this category may take a variety of forms as follows: sentence completion, summary completion, table completion, note completion, flow-chart completion, diagram label completion etc. In most of the above types of gap-fills, the questions are asked from a section of text rather than the entire text.
- Short-answer questions: In this category, questions are asked based on a passage. The candidate is expected to write short answers by taking words from the passage. An instruction specifies that how many words can be written in the answers. The questions are given in the same order as the information given in the text.
