Reading Part A tests your ability to skim and scan quickly across different texts on a given topic in
order to locate specific information. For that purpose, Part A is strictly timed and you must complete
all 20 question items within the allocated 15 minutes. To complete the task successfully, you will also
need to understand the conventions of different medical text types and understand the presentation of
numerical and textual information. The 20 questions consist of matching, sentence completion and
short answer questions.
