Advice to anyone about to do the IELTS: reading section

Hi guys,
just appeared for the test. Got 8.5
Overall:
Reading - 9
Listening - 9
Speaking - 7.5
Writing - 7.5.
Wanted to share some tips with u all.
Matching Headings Questions
In reading, during the exercise of writing the correct heading for each paragraph, its better to read each paragraph and then immediately go through the headings and write the correct one. This will allow you to read the whole reading material as well as answer the questions simultaneously. This will save you a lot of time.
Learn Vocab While Practicing
During practice reading tests, try to mark out each word you did not understand. These words should include the one's whose form of usage is known to you but not the precise meaning. Knowing the precise meaning of each word will give you a distinct edge in the reading test.
Hope these tips are of some help.
All the best

For the Reading test you strictly have to be EXTREMELY QUICK.
I think the Reading test is a race against time because you have a lot to read and a lot of questions to answer, so as soon as you are told "you can start" you have to HURRY UP.
Maybe this would lead you to make some mistakes, but that's fine. You only have to try to finish before time's up and therefore be able to double-check your answers, because trust me when I tell you that not everyone is able to complete the Reading test.

Hi guys,
I did the Academic Test last Saturday, 9/Jan/2016.
The most difficult part was the Reading test.
It was a nightmare, I tried to do the techniques but I could't manage the time and the stress of the clock in the white board.
My advice is, prepare yourselves for the reading. Time yourself, do a lot of mock tests with time, I mean, A LOT like 20 or more.
Other than that, the test was not very difficult.
Thanks, and good luck to everybody.
