You can move the words around until you make your final decision, so dont worry if youre not sure at first.

These get progressively more difficult as you move through the exam.

The Aptis for Teachers Reading Test is very nearly the same in format; only P art 3 is different, as explained below.

As with the rest of the Aptis for Teachers test, the content is designed specifically for teachers.

This means that the questions relate to an educational context.

They deal with themes and scenarios that teachers come across every day.

Part 1: Sentence comprehension This is the easiest part of the reading test.

It takes the form of a very short informal email, note or letter.

There are six sentences with gaps, and the first sentence is done for you as an example.

You have to fill the remaining five gaps by choosing the correct word from a selection of three.

Part 2: Text cohesion There are two tasks of the same type in this part of the reading test.

You have to put six sentences in the correct order to form a very short text.

You have to click and drag the other five into the correct order.

Numerical information: t imes, dates, ages, the first, the second, etc.

The texts are often about everyday activities for example, taking a train journey.

So using your common sense can help (you need to buy the ticket, get on the train, sit in your seat, show your ticket to the ticket collector, etc).

Aptis General Part 3: Opinion matching You will read four short texts that give the opinions of four different people (A, B, C and D) on the same topic.

Then you read seven statements and you have to match each statement to one of the four opinions.

The questions are of this kind: Who said, Who thinks Tip: Read all four opinions fully before you start to match the statements.

Sometimes the statements contain the same words as one of the opinions, but that doesnt always mean its the answer.

Aptis for Teachers Part 3: Short text comprehension In this part you will read a text of about 150 words.

There are seven gaps in the text, and you have to select the right word for each gap.

You fill the gaps by dragging the words from the list at bottom of the screen into the empty boxes.
