Lol. I remember taking an SAT when I was in 7th grade for some random program called Duke TIP. I also know that I have this problem where I have hate focusing on things that I don’t like reading - just like the rest of the world. So I used to like “sleep” read the passages and I never realized I wasn’t giving enough attention to the passages. As a result, I bombed the answers and ended up scoring rather low. All I do now is focus 110% on the passages - if something becomes blurred and I begin to phase out (like how sometimes you can read a paragraph and not soak in the information), I go back and reread it asap. Rereading it then and there - the understanding and comprehension of it - helps a lot in the long run.
