Hi Teacher1984,
Thanks for your comments on LearnEnglish Teens. This website is specially for teenagers aged 13-17 years old but it sounds like you are older than that. You are welcome to keep on using LearnEnglish Teens but if you are over 17, please do NOT post any more comments as we must keep this strictly for teenagers to interact with each other. You might also be interested in the British Council website for teachers, TeachingEnglish.
Best wishes, Jo
LearnEnglish teens team

I read the questions before I start reading the text in the exam. I recommend other people to do the same, it really works.

I agree. It's especially helpful when time limits are not in favour of our reading speed.
