Practice with NOT Questions

In Part 7 of the TOEIC test, some comprehension questions ask you to identify what is NOT in the
passage. These NOT questions can take longer to answer than other types of questions.
--- Tips on Answering NOT Questions --
Leave the NOT question until last. Answer the other questions on a passage first
and you may be able to identify the answer, or know where to look for the answer,
when you come to the NOT question.
Quickly scan the passage to match the information in each answer choice. Look for
information in the passage which is similar to, or paraphrases, information in the
answer choices.
Once you have matched information in the passage with an answer choice,
eliminate that answer choice and immediately move on to the next one.
Remember, you are looking for information that is NOT in the passage. When you
have eliminated three answer choices, the fourth answer choice will be the correct
answer.
When scanning the text, if you cant find the information quickly, move on to the
next answer choice. Do not waste time by looking for information that is not there!
If time is short, eliminate any answer choices that are unusual. Choose the most
likely answer choice.
Read the following texts and answer each NOT question as quickly as you can. Use the advice above to
help you.
