ACT Reading tips and strategies for slow readers!

Looking forward to talking to you!

ACT Reading can be really tough on timing, especially if you're a slow reader (like me). But there's a few ACT Reading tips and strategies that make the process of getting through ACT Reading passages a bit easier. I discuss those strategies and how you can implement them effectively.

These are the strategies that helped me improve my ACT Reading (and Science) score(s) by 15 points. The same strategies apply to both, and they can help you do the same if you practice sufficiently!

Good luck, and let's get those ACT Reading scores up!

This is unbelievable. I took a test yesterday and got a 20 and used this method and just got a 32. You saved my life my friend.

[hackingchampion]

This is the best method that has helped me so far. My score went from an average of 6 to an average of 9! That is wild improvement in one hour! 😂

I’m a slower reader, and i also have accommodations for extended time on the ACT. Even with extended time, I still find it really hard to finish in time. I have been trying to read faster, but I end up just wasting time because I miss a lot of important details.

Oh crap, a reading section appeared.
Me: Go! My brain!

This tip helps a ton!!! I’m a decent speed reader, I enjoy reading. However, I get super nervous with the time but doing this helps and makes it fun. I recommend a ton and will update more practice by the end of the week!😊

Act: I don't think you can score over 30 in reading.

[faridasherif]

can someone pls share if the passage glancing strategy actually worked and made a difference? thanks in advance!

I realized I already do the first approach, but I need to worry about the speed that comes with it. And remembering those main components that I just read. When I automatically heard how the second approach go. I was like nope XD. I would end up spending more than 9 minutes on the hard passages that requires more depth because I will get used to being slow.

[sophiagao]

i’m a slower reader and comprehends slow. i keep telling myself that the goal is to finish in time and not to sit there and overthink bc it also wastes a lot of time. got any tips for ppl who tend to overthink and forgets after reading something?

[virajpatel]

I can speed read the passages in 3-4 minutes but soon as I got to questions all of my time goes to waste it be taking 15-17 minutes a passage and I bought the ACT reading book and I’m done with the book at help bro ???

[pranavpathapati]

Idk if I’m doing something wrong but I keep getting the same score over and over again. I guess u could say I’m having trouble in that I keep rereading certain lines or I don’t understand parts of the passage and that I don’t have time to understand those parts

[hurshpatel]

How did you study for the first method? Did you start slow then up your pace? How did you gain that ability?

[rosemarynoel]

I just dont undertand how to passage glance

[aryr]

How I can skim a passage? I don’t know how to do that?? Any tips

[anneswaggs]

I don’t find this helpful at all 😃these are strategies that I try but as someone who is dyslexic I often read things out of order when trying to read fast like do I just get rid of my dyslexia 💀 bro is just making me feel stupid 🙃

[tamaray]

Too late I already did my reading test yesterday 🥲
