<p>It’s simple enough–nothing groundbreaking at all here. But I found that by using more time to read the passages I feel ten times more comfortable answering questions more quickly. I think it is much more expedient to read carefully first and plow through the questions. Although this sounds dangerous–it’s much better than reading the questions and frantically looking up answers, making you uncertain of what you picked. That means spending 2-3 minutes on the passages not jus quickly skimming them.</p>
<p>Does anyone have a different strategy?</p>
<p>thats a good strategy, one that i tried using on practice tests but failed miserably haha. what i usually do is skim halfway throught he passage, and underline while i’m skimming. then, i answer the questions i can POE my way through easily. DONT go in number order. then, i skim the rest of the passage and answer the rest of the questions. 
its all about finding the strategey that works right for you
good luck!</p>
<p>i use that strategy. if i try to skim/skip the passage answering the questions is a NIGHTMARE! plus, sometimes the stuff in there is kind of interesting :P</p>

W<em>T</em>F?..</p>
<p>what some of the stuff is actually good… although, like 80% is boring…</p>
<p>hahahaha exactly how i feel. well, more like 90% boring, but hey that last 10% that’s reasonably interesting can really work wonders. on the June SAT there was a story about a guy who did all his traveling on motercycles. i thought that one was kind of interesting…</p>
<p>the motorcycle was from “Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance” by Robert M. Pirsig.</p>
