How do I speed read with concentration on a Critical Reading section?

<p>Positively vandalize the passage. The test booklet is yours to mark up, after all. Circle/underline key words or phrases and scribble notes in the margins. Often, you’ll find that one entire paragraph can be paraphrased into one sentence or main point without missing anything important (not everyone can be Hemingway), so write those somewhere, too.</p>

<p>Also, the text itself isn’t the only thing you can look at. The questions and their answers can sometimes help you understand the passage and guide you through some more abstract concepts. One time (this was AP Lang, but that’s pretty much CR on steroids), I read a passage about a girl wandering through a university and thinking along the way, and the questions pretty much told me that it was actually talking about the obstacles women face in intellectual pursuits.</p>
