Tips for Succeeding at Level 2
Read the whole sentence first
Level 2 clues often span the entire sentence. Don't stop reading mid-way.
Look beyond the immediate clause
The clue might appear before or after the target word, sometimes several words away.
Eliminate clearly wrong answers
If an answer contradicts the tone or subject of the sentence, rule it out immediately.
Trust cause-and-effect logic
Many Level 2 questions use because/therefore/as a result to link word meaning to outcomes.
