<p>Any suggestions for Reading portion?</p>
<p>lol i spent my 17th b-day taking that test</p>
<p>the reading section is also my weakest, so i really shouldn’t be giving any advice. but, i have improved in that area by doing all of the specific questions first without any pre-reading. after doing the specific questions, i tend to read a lot of the passage anyways, so i can get a good feel of the passage, and it is then easier for me to do the general questions. also, i always seem to forget whatever i did in the pre-reading, and i think taking notes is a waste of time. overall, just skip around and do the easiest questions first. these methods helped me improve a lot on the reading section.</p>
<p>I got a 28 in reading and that was my highest score (comp 27). This i what I did. I read all the questions first. then I went back and read the passage while underlining parts I thougt were questions. Also read very quickly. My biggest problem is that I spent too much time reading the earlier passages.Then at the end I had two passgaes left so I didnt even read them. I just scimmed them really fast and guessed and almost all of them.</p>
<p>momof3boyz,</p>
<p>it seems like you had absolutely no trouble on the science section…care to share your strategy?</p>
<p>Time is obviously the factor in that section, imo moreso than in others.</p>
<p>my composite is killing me…a 23…pathetic…and thats my 2nd time taking it too …</p>
<p>J/W …do you all study much the night before the test or not?</p>
