<p>I was just wondering what's the best method</p>
<p>I realized that when I read the passage first then do the questions i get 36s. However, when I do the questions at the same time, I usually get 1-2 wrong because there was some detail outside of the sentence that messes me up.</p>
<p>However, If i read the passage first before doing the grammar stuff, I end up running out of time</p>
<p>I just quickly look at the questions for about 10 sec, read the passage, and then answer. Repeat.</p>
<p>I tried reading passage first and then doing the questions, and reading the passage while doing the questions. There was no difference in my scores whatsoever, except with reading the passage first, I felt more rushed and time constrained.</p>
<p>You say when you read the passage first and then answer the questions, you get 36s.</p>
<p>Then you say when you do that, you run out of time…</p>
<p>Which is it?</p>
<p>You can experiment with the “Paragraph by Paragraph” approach. </p>
<p>Read the paragraph, resisting your urge to stop and correct.
Go back and answer the questions in the paragraph.</p>
<p>Simple, sound, and powerful strategy.</p>
<p>I got a 36 on English portion. I would suggest answering questions as they come up in the passage; however,if the question pertains to the whole paragraph (a topic sentence or transitional sentence) you MUST read the whole paragraph before answering. What I like to do to save time is still answer the questions in the paragraph and go back to the question pertaining to the whole paragraph.</p>
<p>I got a 35 English and basically I just answered the questions as I read. It’s fast if you know the rules well. Good luck!</p>
