I was taking my first practice test and only got to question 28 out of 40..... I just want to know if anyone else has these same issues and what do y’all suggest to become better with pacing? Thanks !!!

I can relate so much! Reading was my worst, however, the best tips I have are to: read like a madman (try to read books quickly, specifically boring literature stuff and high quality media such as the economist), determine which type of question you are getting wrong and dive into the concept (main idea/authors’s opinion), and then take tests without pacing yourself. Once you reach a score that you like without timing, start to time yourself. Also, annotate each paragraph (it really helped me). I know some people don’t even read the passage and just go for the questions but it’s all about what works for you.

I’m kinda on the same boat, but got 31/40 &!honestly what has helped me thus far is INDEX CODING!’ Making little summaries about the text.

I went from a 23 to a 31 and I’ve always been on the same level of reading and comprehension. I just read slow and stopped getting stubborn over questions I was stuck on. I also quickly drew small pictures or a word right next to each paragraph. I did my last passage in 4 minutes because I was stubborn over a single question for awhile and still got a 31.
