The data in the table above show that the IELTS reading test assesses reading comprehension by employing multiple testing techniques, represented by eight main types of questions. Question types, such as Yes/No/Not Given or True/False/Not Given; matching, cloze summary and multiple-choice have the highest percentage, i.e. 37.50%, 18.13%, 16.25% and 10%, respectively. Techniques of gap-filling in the form of sentence completion, cloze summary, and information-transfer in flow chart and table completion though with lower percentage are also favored in the IELTS reading test.
