<li><p>For English, I just go like one sentence before the underlined portion, I never read the entire passage. I know some questions ask about the entire passage, so is reading everything the key to getting a 34+(I got a 31)?</p></li>
<li><p>I know everyone has different strategies for Reading(as well as each of the 4 passages), but is it a good idea to stop 1/3 or 1/2 through the passage to read the questions to see if you find anything(which takes time, but your memory of recent material is better)? Should you always look at the questions first to see if any of them relate to the first few paragraphs?</p></li>
<li><p>For Science, people say to go into the questions first, but you might miss valuable information if you don’t read the passage(some formula or correlation). What’s a good balance? Also, is it a good idea to skip around a lot(ie you see a lot of hard questions or at first glance a passage looks really complicated so you keep skipping)? Does this take up more time or saves it later?</p></li>

<li><p>Read everything. Thats what I do, and the errors seem to jump out when you do so (I got a 35 english)</p></li>
<li><p>My strategy: Plow through the reading</p></li>
<li><p>Read the blurb, then read the questions and find the answers.</p></li>

<p>1) I read everything in the English section and do the questions as I go along. That really is key in getting a high score on this section. (I got a 36 on this section)</p>
<p>2) Read the entire passage first (as quickly as you can) and then answer the questions. Then move onto the next passage and do the same thing. (I got a 34 on this section with this strategy)</p>
<p>3) Quickly read the little one or two sentence blurb in the very beginning and then dive directly into the questions. Reading each passages wastes way too much time. (34 on this section too)</p>
<p>Peyton, we have the same strategies lol</p>
<p>I got 31 on reading(though I think I guessed on some towards the end), I think I need to underline some, but then I notice myself focusing on underlining and not reading sometimes, but it still helps. I don't necessarily freak out here, but I'll read a question that relates to some random fact in the passage and I keep searching. I know you're supposed to do this, but I keep thinking it takes up a lot of time to find it. What about questions that asks "what is the point of paragraphs 2-4?", you definitely don't want to re-read that section, so is this a good reason to read the questions first to catch stuff like this?</p>
<p>oh wow, we do have the same ones, az.. i as typing when there wasn't a response there.. you probably posted when i was typing mine up</p>
