How do you take on passages?

There are lots of different methods for tackling these passages. It’s not like there’s only one authoritative method and all the other ones don’t work. For me, I read the first paragraph and answer all the questions about the first paragraph. Then I read the second paragraph and answer all the questions about the second paragraph, and so on until I’ve read the entire passage and can answer all the questions. But you might not like this strategy. A bunch of prep books told me to read passages a certain way, but they didn’t work for me. I had to experiment on my own until I found a method I liked. That’s what you should do. I absolutely hate skimming, so I didn’t like RocketReview’s suggestion. But other people do.
