Reading passages: structure, main idea and detail

This lesson is part of the full course.

In it you will learn to:

• Read a GRE passage actively, tracking its purpose, structure and the author's own view
• Answer main idea, primary purpose and detail questions by matching the passage, not your memory of it
• Handle all three Reading Comprehension formats, including "select one or more" and select-in-passage
• Recognise the wrong-answer patterns that catch careful readers
