Reading Task 2 guide
This task pairs practical written information with a visual source such as a map, schedule, advertisement, or plan. It tests whether you can move accurately between two formats and select information that satisfies specific conditions.
01
The page presents a visual reference together with a written situation or exchange. Questions may require you to locate a feature, compare choices, follow a route, interpret a schedule, or recommend an option using details from both sources.
02
First identify the person's needs in the written text. Turn each need into a short condition, then scan the diagram for candidates. Keep an option only if it meets every required condition; one attractive feature cannot compensate for a clear mismatch.
03
Learners often begin with the visual and forget the user's actual goal, or they read the right column in the wrong row. NorthPrep displays the diagram and questions in a focused layout so you can practise cross-referencing, then review the authored reasoning behind each answer.
Questions learners ask
Use these answers to shape a realistic practice plan and understand what NorthPrep can—and cannot—do.
Learn its structure—title, legend, categories, and axes—without memorizing every detail. Then search with a specific condition in mind.
List every condition from the written situation and test the options one condition at a time. The best choice should satisfy the complete request.
Trace from the label to the value slowly, especially in dense schedules. Recheck the heading and unit before confirming your answer.
