Dear Yara,
Yes - I was stumped by this when first doing my EFL teacher training as
well. but even  more so because my fellow teachers-in-training referred to
it as what _I_ thought I was hearing as being "Ansinginm". Of course they
were saying "Unseen-im"  or "Unseens" (with the Hebrew plural suffix)

But to YOUR question: what it means is "unseen passages" - or - as you
suspected - reading comprehension in passages, followed by questions that
(supposedly) ascertain comprehension of the passage - where the passage had
never been seen- or read- (aka- explicitly taught) before.

I hope that solves this conundrum for you. (Were that I could solve all the
conundrums on this list so simply! ;)
