My New ACT Reading Strategy

Test Preparation ACT Preparation
1

<p>I have put in over 150 hours of studying and my only section I couldn't get over 30 was reading. I tried reading it first then answering questions, reading two questions before I read the passage, skimming the passage and annotating it and then answering questions, reading all questions before the test to no avail. It is obvious that I don't have good reading comprehension skills. </p>

<p>However, I can speed read very fast and for the past two days I have been getting 1-2 questions wrong per passage with this strategy, I first read over the passage very fast without annotating or anything in less than 2 minutes to get a general idea and to index the test where I then move on to answering the questions. Since I am not able to remember the passage well, I skim over the area the question asks for just as fast as I do when I read the passage. This allows me to skim over a paragraph in less than 20s and it gives me enough information to solve the question. </p>

<p>This strategy works best for people who can speed read really fast with average reading comprehension skills. Good luck.</p>

<p>Hope it works for the both of us.</p>

<p>BTW I forgot to mention that I also read the questions and the answer choices quickly too. I’m just hoping that I can consistently score six or less questions wrong on my reading score.</p>
