The reading comprehension test consists of 3 sections. Each of these three sections consists of an academic text and 13 to 14 questions (40 in total). The texts may deal with a variety of subjects (history, biology, literature, etc.) but they are intended for a broad audience and therefore include few technical terms.
Each text is followed by 13 or 14 questions. The questions generally fall into 2 or 3 different question types.
