The first technique, I have been using since first grade lol

[Your_Local_WeirdWeeb]

The tips help me a lot, just read the questions first then skim the passage, do the mc, then the short questions last long questions
Edit : Underline everything important

[mahmoudsufi]

Skim the passage, jump to the Q, refer to the passage;
Intro, thesis, topic sentence & transitions. Best strategy I do prefer.

I literally have my reading sats in less than 2 hours. Thank you so much!

Here a tip when reading look out for buts because they are generally gonna show up in questions. Also after every passage or so take 5-10 second mental break where you take a deep breathe. It’ll help you from making silly mistakes

Thank you gohan, I've had countless teary sleepless nights, stressing over each and every assignment and essay, you're the only person I know who gives practical and relatable advice

[thebeliever]

Yes I kinda do both sometimes and they help save time too.

For the MCQ's in my AP classes(Lang and APUSH)
I just skip the reading and go straight to the questions looking back at where it says to go. They always do them in order anyways, by the time it gets to a summarization question I've read pretty much the whole thing🤷‍♀️.

Also, I found that if it's just a paragraph or in many simple wrighting formats, you can easily find the main idea of the passage in the thesis or conclusion without even having to read the rest of the passage. It also helps you better understand what the passage is trying to tell you. For example, if the thesis says it's an argument about carrots being better for you than cake, you will avoid mistakes while skimming, maybe thinking that it's about why carrots have more vitamin c than carrot cakes or just very small ones such as thinking it's not an argumentative, and actually an informational passage about why carrots are healthy.

I just realised I have been using the first strategy for years without noticing 😅










Edit:believe it or not, 9 likes is the most likes I have ever gotten

Bro we had a whole lesson on these techniques in 8th grade and he made us take an SAT which most of us failed but the people who took the strategies seriously got like a pretty a good grade.

i just couldn't finish anything in time, i applied for accommodations too late so i was not expecting to have to extra time💀

[yckgklc]

My tips are to look at the questions first and then read the passage

[JunetotheBurn]

Thats what I do sometimes. It’s somewhat tedious having to memorize what you just read to answer the question only to find that you have to refer back to it over and over again until you find your answer

[RRICKROLL]

Remember: Quality is better than Quantity

[AahanaGoyal]

I've been using the second technique since forever and it's the best thing ever

[vaishnavivaishnavi]

The first technique is literally something that i have been doing since elementary school and will be doing tomorrow for my high school mid terms as well. It works but some people do the second technique to save time

[EndemicStorm]

Never read any books other than like 2 sci fi books and I got a 36 on the ACT reading section. The tip about reading a lot of books honestly makes no difference on your performance in the reading section. It’s all about what strategy you use.
