Matching Information & Features

Matching information and matching features are two related question types that require you to locate specific details in the passage and connect them to the correct paragraph, person, theory, or category. Both types are common in the IELTS Academic Reading test and can be very time-consuming without the right approach.

Matching Information

How It Works

You are given a list of statements and must match each statement to the correct paragraph (identified by letter: A, B, C, etc.).

Example
═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════
Which paragraph contains the following information?

1  A comparison between two different approaches  →  ___
2  An example of a successful implementation      →  ___
3  A reference to the financial costs involved     →  ___
4  A description of how a process was developed    →  ___

Important rules:

• Some paragraphs may be used more than once.
• Some paragraphs may not be used at all.
• The statements do NOT follow the order of the passage.
