<li>I scan questions for line numbers, mark the passage where lines are mentioned, and answer the question right after I pass any marks I made.</li>
</ol>
<p>i will keep an eye on this thread... i need some suggestions :P</p>
<p>I skip the passage if it is NOT figurative or a narrative. Otherwise, I read the passage as quickly as I can.</p>
<p>If the passage is nonfiction or scientific, I read the blurb, then i skip the general questions, and go right to the specific questions.</p>
<p>Either 3 or 4 for me. I've been doing 4 for the last week or so because Barron's 2400 basically recommends that.</p>
<p>Uhhhhh I've been trying out 4, but I usually do 3. However, I think I will probably be sticking with 3, since I like getting the passage done with and then tackling the questions.</p>
<p>Yeah number 5....</p>
<p>hey it gets me my 800s (or atleast 750+ haha)</p>
<p>number 4 .</p>
<h1>4 -- it gets me 750+ as well.</h1>
<p>tactic #4 is from Barron right ?
Read each paragraph and answer all question within that paragraph</p>
<p>kinda 4.
i basically read first few lines,then go to the questions, then passage.
so kinda 1 in a way lol..</p>
<p>definitely 5.</p>
<p>Wait, how can you answer the questions if you skip the passage? You answer them by common sense or your own opinion? I find that most of the answers are LITERAL in the passage.</p>
<p>^umm you go back to the passage and try to find the answers...</p>
<p>sky high... mark um up... read um ... kill the questions... 800</p>
<p>one by one ...</p>
