Two tasks that look similar: Matching headings tests the main idea of a whole paragraph, so you skim. Matching information tests one specific detail inside a paragraph, so you scan.
❌ Match a heading with one keyword✅ Match a heading with the main idea
📑 Matching headings
🔎 Matching information
⚖️ Key differences
🪤 Common traps
🎯 Step-by-step methods
💡 IELTS tip: For headings, do the easy paragraphs first and cross out the headings you use. For information, do not read every paragraph from the start: scan for keywords. Always check the instructions, because they tell you whether a letter can be used more than once. If you cannot find an answer quickly, move on and come back later.
