@chelseag89 For timing on the reading, I recommend you time yourself for 3 minutes and JUST read the passage, then time yourself for 5 minutes to answer the questions. Do that for 2-4 passages (So either 2/4 passages on a practice test or a whole practice test). After that, set the timer for 8 minutes and complete one whole passage. Grade it when you’re done and see how you did. My personal order of difficulty (POOD) from easiest to hardest is: Prose Fiction, Natural Science, Humanities, and Social Science. Find your POOD and go with that order MOST of the time.
Tips: Look for passages that have many SHORTER paragraphs (8-10) and more line reference questions (in lines 45-53…) because it will be easier to navigate answers. Always be willing to change up the order of passages you want to work. Sometimes the passage you find the easiest will be harder because it may have HUGE paragraphs or no line reference’s at all. Also, look for passages with questions that have shorter answers. An answer is way too long if it takes up two lines, but a questions with an answer that’s a couple of words will be a lot easier to answer.
