<p>lol</p>
<p>so what do I do to bring up reading</p>
<p>I ended up getting a 29 on the reading part of the ACT [5 wrong in the first passage about Linda Rose, I didn't even understand the passage]</p>
<p>Are the Prose passages always that difficult</p>
<p>how should i attempt the prose passages/the overall ACT reading section (i didn't time myself so I may have gone over)</p>
<p>am I just doomed with Reading (i got a 720 in SAT reading)</p>
<p>its from the offical book</p>
<p>lol that is very interesting, because I was an ESL student and while I fail the SAT reading section (500 range LOL), I understand literally everything in the ACT reading section (30).</p>
<p>i guess it’s really just what works for you, i personally read the questions first, then skimmed the passages, found the relevant information, narrowed it down to two choices, then reread anything in context that would reveal the right answer, and went with it from there. im pretty sure even though i skimmed in the beginning i ended up reading every word of every passage. i guess if you want to have a better understanding of what an author is trying to say you could just try reading more in your free time or something and thinking about what’s written. just experiment and see what works for you, it’s your first practice test after all. i got a 35 on the reading btw.</p>
<p>If you time yourself, you might start having problems with science,too.</p>
<p>So start timing.</p>
<p>^totally agree. If i had no time limit, heck even if i had just five more minutes per section, I could easily score a 34-36. Timing is essential on the ACT!</p>
<p>either way, 36 across is pretty nice. time yourself though, that might change stuff around.</p>
