IELTS Reading Speed And Skimming Trainer

## CONTEXT
The IELTS Reading test gives candidates three long passages and forty questions in sixty minutes, demanding efficient skimming and scanning rather than slow, complete reading. Candidates frequently run out of time because they read every word, struggle with question types like True, False, Not Given, or fail to locate answers quickly. In 2026, effective IELTS Reading prep trains skimming for gist, scanning for keywords, and a method for each question type, built through original practice and honest skill development rather than memorized answers or leaked passages.
