textos cortos requiere mantener una concentración lineal para evitar errores
por fatiga. Ya sabéis que el número de respuestas correctas para no ser
eliminado, tanto para Acceso Directo como Promoción Interna, es de 24 (sin
titulación) o 30 (con titulación) sumando las que acertéis en esta parte y las

Estrategia para dominar un Reading
extenso de 30 textos
Al enfrentarte a un volumen alto
de textos independientes, te sugiero aplicar estas pautas de optimización:
- Gestión del tiempo por bloque: No dediques
más de un minuto y medio a cada texto. Si un párrafo se te resiste, marca
una opción probable y avanza para no comprometer las preguntas finales.
- Cuidado con las generalizaciones: Desbanca
las opciones que incluyan palabras absolutas como always (siempre)
o never (nunca), a menos que el texto corto las respalde de forma
explícita.
- Búsqueda de ideas clave (Scanning): Lee la
pregunta primero y acude al texto buscando datos concretos (fechas,
nombres propios, verbos de acción) para localizar la respuesta de manera
directa.
Las respuestas con su explicación
las podéis encontrar al final del test. Vamos allá....
