Core5 mapped NDA questions
Build the idea
Build exam-ready understanding by connecting the core idea, formulas or facts, worked example and previous NDA questions. Focus on why each rule works, then test it under timed conditions.
Concept
A passage is followed by questions on facts, inference, vocabulary-in-context and the main idea. It tests understanding rather than memory.
Skim for the gist, then scan back for the specific detail each question needs.
Key Points & Formulas
- Read the questions first so you know what to look for.
- Fact questions: answer is stated directly; locate it.
- Inference questions: choose what logically follows, not what is merely possible.
- Vocabulary questions: use the surrounding sentence for context.
Worked Example
Q. Strategy: how should you tackle a vocabulary-in-context question such as 'the word X most nearly means…'?
Re-read the sentence containing the word.
Substitute each option into the sentence.
Choose the one that preserves the intended meaning — not just a dictionary synonym.
