Summary
The SUN Method offers a strategic approach to tackling IELTS reading questions, emphasizing time management and effective comprehension.
  • The standard reading approach of thoroughly reading passages is impractical for the IELTS due to time constraints.
  • The SUN Method stands for Skimming and Scanning, Underlining, and Note-taking, providing a structured strategy for identifying answers.
  • Skimming saves time by allowing test-takers to grasp the main idea and structure of passages without detailed reading.
  • Underlining key words in questions and directions focuses the search for answers in the passage.
  • Note-taking alongside passages helps in organizing thoughts and remembering where relevant information is located.
