<p>Personally, I feel like I'm prepared for everything on the test except the reading section. Maybe I am prepared for it but I'm nervous. </p>
<p>I know I could score above a 33 on every other section with ease, but when it comes to reading my range of scores that I could receive on Saturday would be 28-36. </p>
<p>I was wondering if anyone who consistently gets 33's and up on the reading section could give me a few tips on how to do well on it.</p>
<p>My current strategy is to read the passage and then answer the questions. I would read the passage in 4 minutes, then answer the questions to that passage in 4 minutes. Doing this for every passage would give me 3 minutes at the end of the test to go back and answer any ones that I skipped or to check over my work.</p>
<p>I usually skim the passage to figure out the jist of what it is saying (for the questions that cover the whole passage), then attack the questions. When a question discusses a specific part of the passage, I remember where that part was from when I skimmed.</p>
<p>My official reading score is a 34, but I have taken three practice tests recently and have received a 36 and two 34s. (I accidentally gave myself 5 extra minutes on the 36, but I’m pretty sure I didn’t use that extra time anyway.)</p>
<p>IMHO, its best to actually enjoy reading the passage itself and embrace it, but not to the point that you are spending too much time reading it. I actually find it easier to QUICKLY skim over the passage, less than a minute and spend time with the specific line questions and then answer the general passage questions…</p>
