Help A Slow Reader Get A 29/30

<p>Any tips for a slow reader to achieve a 29/30 on the reading section of the ACT?</p>

<p>I read every passage in about 4 min., and when I get to the questions, I tend to take forever on each question, constantly looking back to the passage (which wastes time). Any tips to get through the questions faster?</p>

<p>I took 3 practice reading tests from PR 1296, and I am always getting a 27. How do I get over the "hump" to get my score up to a 29/30? I am not hoping to get any higher, considering that reading isn't really my strong subject.</p>

<p>You may want to look at the Princeton Review Crash Course for the ACT. </p>

<p>It gives a convincing argument and sound strategy on how to do the Reading and Science sections without actually reading the entire sections.</p>

<p>^^^ Have you tried the strategies? If so, what score did you get on the ACT by using those strategies?</p>

<p>Honestly, I’m not quite sure how far away the next ACT is but if you read news paper articles/a few books the month before you will notice a little better reading speed/comprehension.</p>

<p>I have not tried them but you should and see how they work for you on practice tests.</p>
