Abstract EN
The primary objective of the present study was to explore the extent to which the reading comprehension items in IELTS can be answered correctly by test takers in passage out condition, that is, the passage independency of the items.
Furthermore, the study made an attempt to investigate the role of different kinds of intelligences and the use of test-taking strategies in successful reading achievement of test takers in two conditions of the test (when the passage is present and when the passage is ent).
The target participants of the present study comprised 175 male and female EFL students who were selected from three private EFL institutes of Mashhad.
The instrumentation in the present study consisted of two questionnaires and two tests.
As the result shows, there is a significant difference between the passage-out, and passage-in conditions in terms of IELTS reading comprehension.
