In APTIS Reading, what does 'Not Given' mean in a True/False/Not Given question?

'Not Given' means the text neither confirms nor contradicts the statement — the information simply isn't there.
You read: 'The company launched its new product in March, ahead of the original April deadline.' When was the product originally expected to launch?
Answer: April
The phrase 'ahead of the original April deadline' directly states the original planned launch was April.
Which skill does the APTIS Reading 'long text' section primarily test?
Answer: Sustained reading comprehension and understanding of argument structure
The long text section requires candidates to read extended passages and demonstrate understanding of main ideas, details, and text organization.
A passage reads: 'Although prices have risen, consumer demand has remained stable.' What relationship does 'although' signal?
Answer: Contrast or concession
'Although' introduces a contrast between two ideas — rising prices and stable demand are presented as unexpected opposites.
In an APTIS reading task, you must match five paragraphs to five headings. What should you do first?
Answer: Read all headings carefully, then read each paragraph to find the best match
Reading all headings first gives you an overview of the categories before you analyze each paragraph.
The text states: 'Volunteers must be over 18 and available on weekends.' A candidate aged 17 applies. What does the text imply?
Answer: The candidate does not meet the age requirement
The text specifies a minimum age of 18, so a 17-year-old does not qualify.
