How True / False / Not Given works: You compare a statement with the passage. TRUE = the text agrees. FALSE = the text says the opposite. NOT GIVEN = the text says nothing about it. Use only the passage, never your own knowledge.
❌ Use your own knowledge to decide✅ Use only the information in the passage
✅ TRUE: the text agrees
❌ FALSE: the text says the opposite
❓ NOT GIVEN: no information

🎯 A 4-step method
💡 IELTS tip: The hardest difference is FALSE vs NOT GIVEN. Ask: Does the text say the opposite? If yes, choose FALSE. Does the text say nothing about it? If yes, choose NOT GIVEN. Remember: True / False / Not Given is for facts, while Yes / No / Not Given is for the writer’s opinions. Answers usually follow the order of the passage.
