<p>Recently, i have been scoring around 31-32 on the reading section. Does anyone have advice that can help me get around 34-36 on the reading section?</p>
<p>Get less questions wrong/more questions right.</p>
<p>take a bunch of practice tests. Underline names, dates, important details, and lists when you read through it. Don’t spend 5 minutes trying to find the answer to one question. Don’t over think it. The answers are usually straight forward and in the text.</p>
<p>thanks for the advice. Also, is reading the questions before reading the passage a good strategy?</p>
<p>No, not really. If one or two particular questions are on your mind as you read, you won’t be able to focus on the passage as a whole and you’ll probably have to reread it to find answers to the other questions.</p>
<p>Read more.</p>
<p>BCB tryin’ to act cool saying what works/what doesn’t but did he get a 36 on his reading portion? challenge me</p>

<p>I don’t quite understand what you’re trying to say. I’m just telling them the techniques that have worked the most effectively for me. If you have other methods, then feel free to share them. I’m sure they would appreciate any input that you may have.</p>
<p>I am trying to ask whether or not you received a score of a 36 on the reading portion of the test.</p>
<p>for me, i read the passage pretty fast so i know which paragraph talks about what. then when i look at the questions, i go straight to that paragraph that is relevant to the question and reread it.</p>
<p>i tried underlining what i thought were important details of the passage… seemed to help… guess ill find out if it did soon enough!</p>
<p>@CLC I dont really see how that is relevant to the OP’s question. go stroke your online ego somewhere else</p>
<p>why u tryna act cool tsunami, bcb seemed to have the golden strategy, which, obviously, there is no such thing…random</p>
<p>^CLC, go away ■■■■■. No one wants you here.</p>
<p>Read lots of dense text independently and slowly, making sure to understand all the ideas. It will make understanding the text in the reading section much easier.</p>

<p>I didn’t do this. I can’t tell if it’ll work for you. But I can tell you that I scored a 36 by reading the passages and answering questions. I didn’t find any tricks.</p>
<p>To me, the most important thing was not losing concentration AT ALL. And understanding the basic ideas of everything. You can always go back to look for specific details. If you missed the point that the author is making, it takes a lot longer to read it again for that.</p>
<p>Okay, Oregon. You wanna challenge me? Or are you just going to falsely accuse me of more crap?</p>
<p>I personally think the best strategy is to read an enormous amount of material that may show up on the ACT. Therefore, when it pops up, you already know everything!</p>
