How SmartRead Reading Practice Tests Works

SmartRead is an innovative course designed and developed by Smartkeeda. This course provides practice tests to improve your reading comprehension as well as critical reasoning skills. This is a very important course for all students whether they are preparing for any Bank Exams like IBPS PO, IBPS Clerk, SBI PO, SBI Clerk, IBPS RRB PO Mains, IBPS RRB Clerk Mains, RBI Grade B Phase 1 or any other competitive or entrance exam where Reading Comprehension and Critical Reasoning carries a great weightage. It operates as a comprehensive reading test designed to improve reading comprehension and critical reasoning skills through a systematic approach.

Passage Vocabulary Introduction:

SmartRead by Smartkeeda initiates the learning process by presenting users with vocabulary directly extracted from the passage. Users are introduced to key words along with their meanings, synonyms, and antonyms. This preparatory step primes users for better comprehension of the passage to follow.

Vocabulary Quiz:

Following the vocabulary introduction, users proceed to a quiz session. Multiple questions are posed for each word introduced earlier. Importantly, if a user answers a question incorrectly, SmartRead dynamically adjusts by re-presenting the same question after a few intervening questions. This ensures thorough comprehension before moving forward.

Passage Reading:

Once the vocabulary exercise is completed, users delve into reading the passage. SmartRead allows users to set an ideal time for passage reading, accommodating individual reading speeds. Users can adjust this time to their preference within certain limits. After finishing the reading or manually submitting it, the real assessment phase begins.

Assessment of Reading Skills:

SmartRead evaluates users' reading comprehension as well as critical reasoning abilities through a series of multiple-choice questions derived from the passage. These questions are meticulously crafted to assess various skills, including:

  • Ability to discern explicit information
  • Capacity to retain information
  • Proficiency in identifying the passage's title, central idea, or summary
  • Aptitude for identifying key ideas or sentences
  • Skill in discerning the author's point of view or opinion
  • Understanding the tone and style of the passage
  • Capacity to infer contextual meanings of words or phrases
  • Capability to respond to argumentative, inferential, and conclusive questions

Test Analysis and Performance Report:

Upon completion of the test, SmartRead generates a detailed performance report. This report encapsulates the user's reading comprehension level, reading speed, and strengths and weaknesses across different skill points. This analysis serves as a roadmap for users, guiding their efforts towards targeted improvement.

Customized Vocabulary Quizzes:

SmartRead takes personalization a step further by storing users' data, tracking their performance on vocabulary quizzes. Based on this data, customized vocabulary quizzes are generated on a weekly basis. Users receive notifications prompting them to attempt these quizzes, facilitating long-term retention of word meanings.

In essence, SmartRead's innovative approach to personalized learning empowers users to not only enhance their reading comprehension skills but also to maintain and reinforce their vocabulary knowledge over time.
