What sometimes helps me is to briefly scan the questions before I read the passage so I know what to look for. Then you can annotate the lines where you find the answer (this only applies to some questions not the ones about the whole passage). Also ask yourself after every paragraph or few lines what the main idea is and write it down so you can refer back to it later and save time. If you don’t know the answer to a question the most important thing is to guess and move on. Don’t waste time by trying to figure out the answer when there might be easier questions ahead. It’s especially the best to just guess and move on because the ACT doesn’t deduct any points for wrong answers. Make sure you fill in something for every bubble on that reading section(even if you didn’t quite think about the question enough because time is running short) because that’s at least 25% chance of getting points. Good luck, I know you can do it! :)
