The EIKEN Grade 5 Reading section checks basic English at CEFR A1 level. You need to understand everyday words, simple sentence patterns, short dialogues, and very short passages. Questions are multiple-choice, so the skill is not writing English but recognizing the correct meaning quickly. The written test is short, so each question should be answered by finding one clear clue in the text.
