<p>I'm ok with long ones, but those four questions in the section on the short passages really kill me. I usually get all four of them wrong.
Any suggestions?</p>
<p>Read the questions fast, and then read the passages quickly. Don't delve too much into Author's purpose/tone, but that short passage should still give you an idea about how each other feels about the subject he/she is talking about. If it's a factual passage, don't actually infer anything on the "From the passage, it can be inferred that..." questions. Stick to the facts/theories they give you in the passage.</p>
<p>Hope this helps.</p>
