Expert Tips to Improve Your Score

Excel in Re-order Paragraphs with time-saving techniques to improve clarity and reading efficiency.

01

Identify the Topic Sentence

Find the independent lead sentence. It introduces
the main theme without referring back to previous information and never starts with pronouns or transition words like "however."

02

Use the "Nouns to Pronouns" Link

Look for sentences introducing a person or
concept by full name first. Subsequent sentences will use pronouns (he, she, it) or acronyms to refer back to them.

03

Track Articles (A/An vs. The)

Use "A" or "An" to identify when
a subject is first introduced. Sentences using "The" usually follow, as they refer to a specific item already mentioned previously.

04

Logical Sequencing

Arrange sentences chronologically by dates or through
cause-and-effect transitions. Look for time markers like "initially" or "subsequently" to determine the natural flow of the narrative.

Frequently Asked Questions

How is Re-order Paragraphs scored?

Scoring is based on correctly linked adjacent pairs, not the full sequence. If your answer is DABFCE, the scorable pairs are DA, AB, BF, FC, CE that's 5 possible points. You earn 1 mark per correct pair. Partial credit is awarded, so even an imperfect order earns points as long as some pairs are correct.
 

What clue words help me sequence the remaining sentences?

Four categories of clue words matter most: linking/transition words (however, furthermore, therefore, as a result), articles ('a/an' introduces a concept; 'the' refers back to something already mentioned), reference pronouns (this, these, it, such always point back to a previously named noun), and time/sequence markers (first, then, later, subsequently, finally).
 

What is the 'pairs' method in Re-order Paragraphs task ?

Instead of trying to arrange all sentences at once, identify two sentences that clearly belong together first. Build small clusters this way. Since scoring rewards correct adjacent pairs, getting even 2–3 pairs right earns significant partial credit. This is particularly useful when the full sequence remains unclear.
 

How much time should I spend on each Re-order Paragraph question?

Aim for 1.5 to 2 minutes per question. If a sentence remains unclear after this time, place it in the most logical spot and move on spending more time rarely improves accuracy and risks leaving later questions incomplete.
 

Can I change my answer before moving on?

Yes. You can drag sentences back to the left panel or reposition them in the right panel at any point before clicking Next. Once you confirm and move to the next question, however, you cannot return. It is good practice to re-read your final sequence once to confirm the paragraph flows logically.
 

What kinds of texts appear in Re-order Paragraphs?

Passages are drawn from academic and general interest topics science, history, economics, social issues, and environmental topics are common. Texts are typically formal in register. Reading a variety of newspaper and academic articles daily helps you recognise logical paragraph structures quickly.
