Reading Strategies for Success

Skim and Scan Don't read word-for-word. Skim for the general idea and scan for specific names, dates, or numbers.
Time Management You have 60 minutes for 3 passages. Aim for 17 minutes per passage to leave time for checking answers.
T/F/NG Logic 'False' means the passage says the opposite. 'Not Given' means the information isn't there at all.
Transfer Instantly There is no extra time to transfer answers. Write them directly on the answer sheet as you go.
