博思閱讀是考試一大難點，很多考生在閱讀上失手。其主要存在以下幾個難點：單詞、句子閱讀、閱讀速度和考生主觀臆斷。針對這些問題本人談談自己的備考經驗。
一、單詞：準備單詞卡片，迴圈背誦一般博思閱讀中涉及詞彙量不是很大，考生具備4000左右即可應考。單詞貧乏的考生，一定要及時補充詞彙，打下紮實的基礎。在應試時很容易遺忘或混淆單詞的意義，為了避免類似情況發生，一定要加強單詞意義的理解。對此，考生可以製作單詞卡片，正反面各寫英文和中文解釋。制訂計劃每天背一定量的生詞，迴圈背誦並不斷補充。當然，最有效的是閱讀文章時記憶單詞。
二、句子：參考上下文，分析主謂結構在句子理解方面，考生最容易犯的錯誤就是根據自己已有經驗片面理解。博思閱讀中有的題目考的`是對於文章中某一句子的理解，要參考上下文客觀地看問題。考生應對一些複合句，尤其是雙重否定句、比較句、指代句等有較深瞭解。特別在遇到複雜句時，應靜心思考，從把握句子主幹一一主謂結構著手來分析解剖句子結構。
三、閱讀掃描全文，做出標記博思閱讀追求速度(speed)與準確度(accuracy)的完美結合。快而不準或準而太慢都會影響考分。考生在勤奮練習的時候掌握一些閱讀技巧將達到事半功倍的效果。快速閱讀最關鍵的是在掃描全文的時候把握每段的主旨，並做出標記，在看完全文後對文章的結構主題有大致的瞭解。此外，考生以單詞為單位看文章，遇生詞就停頓等壞習慣都要極力避免。
總之，考生平時多看、多讀、多聽、多說、多寫，多接觸英文(much exposure to english)再運用一些閱讀技巧，拿下雅思閱讀並非一件難事。
