<p>The 4 step system:
1. Find
2. Scan
3. Skim & Scribble
4. Loop</p>
<p>If so, did it help or hurt you?</p>
<p>I have tried it and it sucks! It made my score worse, not that it was any better... are you taking the test this saturday?</p>
<p>Yes I am. I just got done reviewing that section of the book and it seemed like it could possibly be easier to use that strategy but time consuming.</p>
<p>My first and last time taking it as well. I have heard that you should just read the whole passage.</p>
<p>well, what kind of score are you looking for? To be honest, it is time consuming and thats why i dont use it.</p>
<p>I'd like to get a 28. Overall, I am not great at these standardized tests. I got a 1720 on my SAT</p>
<p>What works for me might be different than something that might work for you, but what works for me is reading the questions first and kinda half-reading the passages. See if that works for you... With that method, on the practice tests i get a score of 24-28 on the reading.</p>
<p>Thanks for the tip:)</p>
<p>I really like the underlining part of the strategy so maybe I will just use that and then read the passage...</p>
<p>do the kind of passages you like best first (if you like the fiction passages over science, do it first and save the science passages for last......i do fiction, humanities, social sciences, and then natural science)</p>
<p>Is that like the Princeton Review's Reading Section Strategy? (I couldn't resist the smart aleck remark :-)</p>
<p>In my opinion, it varies from person to person. I read the questions before I read the passages so I know what I'm looking for, but, like I said, it's all comes down to whatever works for you.</p>
<p>What works for me is to read 2 or 3 paragraphs then find the questions relating to those paragraphs and repeat until I've read through the whole thing. I don't like reading the questions first because I usually forget most of them and it distracts me while I'm reading.</p>
<p>Read the entire passage, while underlining things that stand out.</p>
<p>Answer the questions.</p>
<p>Don't use PR's useless strategy.</p>
