It\u2019s normal to have mixed feelings about Part 7 of the Cambridge C2 Proficiency Reading and Use of English test. While you\u2019re relieved to get to the final section, you might find the task challenging. You have to read several texts and keep track of disparate<\/strong><\/span><\/em> ideas.<\/p>\n

Understanding what to do and learning some effective techniques can help you get ready. That\u2019s why we\u2019ve covered everything you need to know about Part 7 in this guide.<\/p>\n

What\u2019s in Reading and Use of English Part 7?<\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n

 <\/p>\n

Part 7 is the final of the three reading tasks in the Cambridge C2 Proficiency Reading and Use of English test.<\/p>\n

On the second page, you\u2019ll find the text. It\u2019s usually either one long text divided into sections or several short texts. Each one will be clearly marked with a letter. Here\u2019s a condensed<\/strong><\/span><\/em> version of what you might see:<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

How should I answer the questions?<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n

 <\/p>\n

You must match the questions on the first page with the paragraphs on the second. As the instructions say, there are more questions than paragraphs.<\/p>\n

Questions may relate to the overall gist of a section or specific details in the text. They may use similar language to convey the same ideas, but the words and phrases will be generally different. You must rely on your understanding of the text to make matches.<\/p>\n

Once you\u2019ve figured out an answer, you can write the paragraph letter next to the corresponding question number on the answer sheet.<\/p>\n
