50 Questions • 65 Minutes • Grammar + Reading Comprehension
This test has three parts: Grammar (20 questions), Single-text Reading (10 questions), and Multiple-text Reading (20 questions). You have 65 minutes to complete all questions.
The MET Reading section has 50 multiple-choice questions across three parts: Grammar (20Q), Single-text Reading (10Q), and Multiple-text Reading (20Q). Each correct answer carries equal weight with no penalty for wrong answers — always select an option. MET uses Item Response Theory (IRT) to scale your raw score to the 0-80 score, ensuring comparability across different test forms.
Common mistake: Rushing through grammar questions to save time for reading passages. The grammar section counts equally toward your score. Tip: When answering reading comprehension questions, refer back to the passage — don't rely on memory. Look for keywords in the questions to locate relevant sections quickly.
Because grammar and reading are combined into a single 65-minute section, pacing matters. A balanced MET Reading result supports applications that require proof of English ability, including several university and visa routes. Practise with the free test above and review the explanations for every answer to spot recurring weak points.
