how do you tackle long reading passages?

Based on the advice of the PR book for AP English Lit, I scan through the passage for about 30 seconds, not really reading, but absorbing. Then, I read the passage all the way through once. When I get to questions that refer back to the passage, I make sure to go back to the passage. Now while I am definitely more of a math student than an english student, I feel that this strategy helped me on Thursday’s AP Eng Lit Exam.
