Integrated Skills and Information Transfer
What this domain tests
This domain combines reading or listening with writing. You may complete a form, transfer data from a table or poster into sentences, compare two notices, or summarize a short text in note form. The task usually requires one accurate sentence, not a list of everything on the page.
Core rules
- Read the column and row headings before the data; label what each number or word represents.
- Match the question to the correct cell; do not copy a neighboring value.
- When converting notes to sentences, add the verb and subject that notes omit.
- Keep units and names exact; paraphrase only when the question asks for your own words.
- Check that the finished sentence answers the question, not just restates the table.
Worked example
A table shows: Science Club - Tuesday, 4:00 p.m.; Art Club - Friday, 4:30 p.m. Question: When does the Art Club meet? Correct: It meets on Friday at 4:30 p.m. Reasoning: the row is Art Club, the day column is Friday, and the time column is 4:30. 'Tuesday' belongs to the Science Club, so it is a distractor.
Traps that cost marks
- Swapping rows and columns.
- Omitting a.m./p.m. or the day when both are required.
- Copying Japanese notes without translating into English word order.
- Writing a fragment because the original note had no verb.
