Thank you for the tips! I also want to add something that helps me - for the questions that say “In paragraph x,” I look at all the questions before reading and make a note of which paragraphs to pay special attention to. I then answer those questions as I finish the paragraph they are talking about so I don’t fall for any answer choices that are mentioned in a different paragraph. I hope this can help someone else!
I wouldn't say I'm skimming. You do need to read relatively in detail to answer the questions. Is English your first language? I know some friends whose English isn't and they have a hard time with reading fast :( How is your timing otherwise? Is it under 9 minutes per passage? If you are able to do the questions fast then maybe it's okay? How are your practice tests?
@@yolalandx Yes it is my first language. My timing is usually 10 minutes on the easier-medium passages but the dense philosophical ones I take around 6-7 minutes to read and then answering the questions takes me awhile.I'm always scoring 126s on the practice tests only to get a 124 on the real thing twice now.
