ACT Reading one last time...

Test Preparation ACT Preparation

<p>Okay, heres the strategy I think I'm going to try to master before saturday:</p>

<p>Do each question one by one and searching for key words in the question in the passage. I'll save the general questions for last and read 1st/last paragraphs and 1st sentences of each paragraph to answer those.</p>

<p>What I noticed was...on prose it seems like a better strategy to read/skim the passage and then do the questions since theres a lot less factual info as opposed to the humanities and other passages. It seems like one would need a good understanding of the prose passage to answer the questions since different literary techniques are used and you have to interpret what is being said in context.</p>

<p>Can anyone tell me if I should use my method for all the passages or approach 3 one way and read the prose? Has this worked for anyone? Thx</p>

<p>I am by no means a good reader, but I scored a 35 on a practice test by simply reading all of the passage and then answering the questions in chronological order.</p>

<p>For some reason, the ACT passages are a lot easier to grasp, and the answers are more obvious.</p>

<p>A lot of times, it's stated word for word in the passage, so you can go back every now and then to check...</p>

<p>How do you have time to read the whole passage? I never do!</p>
