Note:   There are more questions for this passage than for a similar
           passage in the IELTS reading Sub-test, which consists of three
           passages with a total of 40 questions.

Questions 1 – 7

The first thing to note is that you must not use MORE THAN THREE WORDS for each answer.
Even articles such as the word "a" count as a single word.

Q1.   Students at the college should never forget that "self-reliance is key". (Paragraph 1)
        The hyphenated double-barrelled word counts as ONE word.   
Q2.   Students must always think of themselves "in positive terms". (Paragraph 2)
        Notice that so far the answers have both been three word answers. Look for them always.
Q3.   "General good behaviour and consideration of others is expected of everyone and that
        includes all staff members." (Paragraph 3)
        You can only give one answer, so choose either "general good behaviour" or
        "consideration of others".
Q4.   The keyword is "class", so look under the heading "Class" in Paragraph 3.
Q5.   The keyword is "meals", so look under the heading "Meals" in Paragraph 3.
Q6.   The keyword is "sport", so look under the heading "Sport" in Paragraph 3.
         "But is not just winning that we are proud of – participation and effort are just as important
         as medals." The answer is not "medals" - that would not make sense, but another three word
         answer does make sense: "participation and effort". You could also give either "participation"
         or "effort" as your answer, since both are individually correct too.
Q7.    Here you have to jump around a bit because the answer is given towards the bottom of the
         passage. Not all questions may be given in order, but many are.

Questions 8 – 16
 
Q8.   Students at St. Michael's may be special because they have hidden talents, but it doesn't
         specifically say so. That they are loved and cared for equally and may be self-reliant are not
         reasons for them being special in the first place. They require more assistance than other
         students – yes, that is true and it is stated. It is why they are at a special school.
Q9.    All St. Michael's students belong to one of four Houses. You should have noticed this was
         the case when you answered Q7.
Q10.  All of the first three options are mentioned as reasons and are therefore correct, so the
         only answer is D (all of the above)
Q11.  The guidelines at the college are unique to the college. "But at St Michael's we have certain
         guidelines that other schools do not need." (Paragraph 3) It might be tempting to argue
         that there may be other schools for the disabled perhaps with similar guidelines, but this is
         not stated. It cannot be entered into consideration.
Q12.  A cannot be true because D is true. B is not mentioned (and unlikely!) and C is not the case:
         "If you need to leave a class for any reason, ...(etc.)". Nowhere does it say you must leave.
Q13.  Dietary changes are discussed in Paragraph 3 under the heading "Meals". "It is your
         responsibility to let the kitchen know...".
Q14.  Since B is false (it is a recommended subject for all), A cannot be true. C is not true
         because even students who cannot "partake physically at sport, ...can still take sport
         as a subject thanks to the latest Wi-Fi technology". The answer is D which is discussed in
         the first sentence under the heading "Sport".
Q15.  D is not true because "we expect you to be there in Gabriel Hall at 2.p.m. this afternoon
         sharp. We cannot start without you so please do not be late for this your first assembly."
         obviously, "around 2.00 p.m." is not good enough.
Q16.  B and D are not mentioned. C would be true if all the teachers were "differently abled", but
         apparently only some are: "as you will soon find out, a good number of them are just like you!".
