How to approach Flow Chart Completion
Flow Chart Completion shows a process or sequence of stages with gaps to fill using words from the passage within a word limit. Because a flow chart describes steps in order, you find the part of the passage that explains the process and work through it stage by stage.
1
Read the whole flow chart first
Understand the process and how each stage connects before filling any gap.
2
Find the process in the passage
Locate the section that describes the sequence the chart is based on.
3
Follow the steps in order
A flow chart moves in sequence, so the answers usually appear in the order the passage describes them.
4
Predict and confirm each gap
Decide the word type each stage needs, then take it straight from the passage.
5
Respect the word limit
Use only the words allowed and copy them exactly, with correct spelling.
Common mistakes to avoid
✗Filling gaps out of sequence.
✓A flow chart follows the order of the process, so work through the stages in order.
✗Exceeding the word limit.
✓Stay within the stated limit and use words from the passage.
✗Missing the connecting words between stages.
✓Read how each stage links to the next so the completed chart makes sense.
