Well I took a practice test 1 week before the test to get familiar with the format. I got a 29 on the practice reading section. I considered just not showing up because I thought it was so bad. But instead I did about 3 practice reading section during the week, with the time limit. I found that speed reading through the article helped a lot. I just get the general idea about the article by skimming through and not pay much attention to detail, keep track of time (7-9 minutes per passage & 10 questions, depending on the difficulty of the article) and remember that all the answers are in the passage and the questions aren’t meant to be that difficult compared to the SAT critical reading section.
I did that and I ended up with a 35 on the Reading section of the ACT.

Good Luck with the Reading Section next time you take it
