How to approach Table Completion
Table Completion gives you a table summarising information from the passage, with gaps to fill using words from the text within a word limit. The row and column labels tell you exactly what each gap needs, which makes the answers easy to locate once you read the table structure.
- 1Read the table structure firstThe row and column headings tell you what kind of information each gap needs.
- 2Predict the missing wordUse the headings to decide whether the gap is a number, a name, a date or a feature.
- 3Find the matching sectionScan the passage for the row or column keyword and read the surrounding text closely.
- 4Fill the gap exactlyCopy the word from the passage within the word limit and keep the spelling exact.
- 5Check the gap fits the headingConfirm your answer matches the category the row and column describe.
Common mistakes to avoid
Filling a gap without reading the row and column labels.
The labels define what the gap needs. Read them before you search the text.
Exceeding the word limit.
Stay within the stated limit and use words from the passage.
Putting a correct fact in the wrong cell.
Match the answer to the right row and column, not just the right topic.

How do I use the table to find answers?
The row and column headings tell you exactly what each gap needs, such as a date or a name. Match those labels to the passage and the answer is easy to locate.
Do the answers follow the passage order?
Often the table follows the order of the passage, but read the headings carefully since tables can group information by category rather than strictly in order.
Can I change the word from the passage?
No. Copy the word exactly within the word limit, with correct spelling.
Is this Academic Reading?
Yes, the passages are IELTS Academic. Table Completion appears in both Academic and General Training.
