<p>Uttaresh,
I’m not sure what kinds of issues (besides boredom) you’re having with reading comp so I don’t think I can help you with that.
For the essay, here’s what I recommend.
Some prompts seem like nightmares but there are commonalities between all of them-- they’re either yes or no, or choose. Choose a thesis that’s less vague than the prompt, but specific enough to get three points for. And for the yes or no, of course just the easier one to do.
I recommend choosing your examples before you go into the essay. SAT readers probably love literary examples, and you seem quite knowledgeable about a few books. Pick 3 good, literary books that are full of themes. Own them. That way, instead of thinking about which book you have to use, all you have to think about is which occurrence in that book is relevant to the question. Trust me, if they’re good books, at least 2 out of the 3 will give you good examples.
The same goes with history, or even personal experience. When I took the test, I used an occurrence in Louis XIV’s life for every practice essay I had. Then I used it on the real test, and I didn’t sweat thinking of what to write. For current events, have a running list memorized. The more examples you memorize the less time it will be thinking on the test.</p>
<p>Even if this wasn’t a direct answer to your question, I hoped it helped!</p>
