1. Skim the Passage for General Understanding

  • Time Management: Quickly skim the passage (1-2 minutes) to understand the main idea, structure, and tone.
  • Focus on Structure: Pay attention to:
    • The first and last sentences of each paragraph.
    • Signal words (e.g., however, therefore, on the other hand).
  • Avoid Overreading: Don’t get stuck on difficult words or sentences; the goal is to grasp the big picture.
  • 2. Understand Question Types

  • 3. Use a Targeted Reading Strategy

    • Read Only What’s Necessary: For most questions, you don’t need to re-read the entire passage.

      4. Practice Active Reading

      • Annotate While Reading: Jot down main ideas, transitions, and key details in your scratch paper

        5. Manage Time Effectively

        • Allocate Time Wisely: Each reading section has 3-4 passages, with 10 questions each. Aim to spend:
          • 15-20 minutes per passage (2-3 minutes to skim, 1 minute per question).
