Ooh that’s an interesting idea! I just did the literacy test and it was a lot easier than I thought it would be :)

It’s a trick I learnt from copyediting. It helps with typos spellcheck doesn’t pick up. For exam questions it would be good to make sure you don’t miss important modifiers like ‘not’ in a question

So the question, “What is that?”, I’d read as, “That is what”?

You’ve got to read the question forwards again one last time before answering
