Paragraph G
Nevertheless, the analysis reviewed here indicates that these consequences were more significant than many curriculum planners identified.
Does the claim agree with the views of the writer?
The wider consequences of standardised testing were probably greater than many curriculum planners realised.
How to approach Yes or No or Not Given
Yes No Not Given works on the views and claims of the writer rather than plain facts. YES means the writer agrees with the statement. NO means the writer disagrees. NOT GIVEN means the writer never expresses that view. The trap is the same as True False Not Given: silence is never disagreement.
1
Spot opinion language
Look for words that signal a view, such as believe, argue, suggest, claim, doubt. These mark where the writer position lives.
2
Read the claim carefully
Decide precisely what view the statement attributes to the writer before you search the text.
3
Locate the writer position
Scan in passage order for the paraphrase of the claim and read the surrounding sentences for the writer stance.
4
Decide Yes, No, or Not Given
YES if the writer clearly holds that view, NO if the writer clearly rejects it, NOT GIVEN if the writer expresses no opinion on it.
5
Separate fact from opinion
A fact stated in the passage is not the same as the writer agreeing with a claim about it. Keep the two apart.
Common mistakes to avoid
✗Treating Yes No Not Given like a pure fact check.
✓You are tracking the writer opinion, so weigh stance words, not only data.
✗Choosing NO when the writer simply never mentions the view.
✓No mention means NOT GIVEN. NO needs the writer to reject the claim.
✗Confusing one expert quoted in the text with the writer own view.
✓A view the writer reports is not always a view the writer shares. Read who is speaking.
