Challenge Your Exam Readiness With Our Free TABE 11 and 12 Practice Questions

Main-idea questions ask for the central point supported by details. The passage lists three interventions—route redesign, real-time tracking, and express lines—followed by a quantified outcome: commute times fell 12% in six months. Those details collectively support the idea that the transit changes improved rider commutes, so B best captures the controlling message. Option A contradicts the text; buses were not eliminated. Options C and D invent negative outcomes not mentioned. On TABE Reading, summarize each paragraph in one sentence by asking “What happened? So what?” Here, “City made several targeted transit improvements” (what) “leading to shorter commutes” (so what). Prioritize choices that reflect both actions and outcomes. Watch for distractors that either overgeneralize (e.g., “all problems solved”) or introduce new claims. Evidence-based selection is a key objective: identify the claim and match it to the supporting numbers or facts presented in the text.
