23 Language in use q Tips and tricks Banked gap-fill (BGF) While reading, think of a word that could fit the gap, then check the words in the bank. Which of them comes closest to what you had in mind? Remember to check the sentence before and after the gap to make sure your word fits. Word formation (WF) First decide what kind of word (noun, verb, etc.) you need to complete the gap. Then change the given word to the correct form. Watch out in case a plural form, third-person singular -s, past tense or an opposite is required. There may be more than one correct answer. Check your spelling! Multiple choice (MC) While reading, think of a word that could fit the gap, then check the four options. Which of them comes closest to what you had in mind? The options given might test your knowledge of grammar or vocabulary. Are you given four different forms of the same word or four different words as options? The option you choose should be correct in meaning and form. Editing (ED) Read the instructions carefully because the number of correct lines can vary. The correct example line does not count. Look for short words like prepositions, conjunctions, modal verbs or adverbs. Reading a difficult line from right to left can help you focus more on individual words. The first and last word of a line are never wrong. A word that is in the line more than once is never wrong. Open gap-fill (OGF) Every gap must be filled with exactly one word. Contractions such as don’t or I’m are one word. If you can’t think of a word right away, decide what kind of word (modal verb, linking word, article, etc.) you need to complete the gap. Then go through possible options in your head. There is often more than one correct answer. Watch out in case a plural form, past tense or third-person singular -s is required. Check your spelling!
