I’m not sure if you’re looking for a full-on strategy, but an idea that I would try is to time yourself for the full 25 minutes and try these steps.

Step 1: Read passages with pencil on the lines as you’re reading. This would help you focus more than normal no matter what the circumstance, and in case something distracts you on test day, you know where you are in the passage.

Step 2: Go to the last page of the section where stop is and count the questions of the long passage or long dual passages. Multiply by 2 and divide by 3 the number of questions and that’s how many minutes they should take you so you have enough time for the rest.

Step 3: Do the long passage first, and if they are long dual passages, do the individual section questions first such as “In Passage 1,” or “On Line 30”. Do passage one, then passage two questions, then the comparing/contrasting questions.

Step 4: Do the shorter passages.

Step 5: Finish with sentence completion because they take the least amount of time, and also there are only 19 of them out of 67 questions.
