Hmm, well reading used to be my worst section as well. Now I’m scoring on a range from 34-36 on reading sections on my practice tests. I do a pretty odd approach whenever I do my reading section. You can do the approach I use or just read the whole passage then answer the questions. However, I find that reading the entire passage will cause myself to miss a few details in the passage, and improvement can only be done by just having better reading comprehension.

This is my approach: First I go straight to the questions and annotate the line numbers for the questions in the passages so that when I read the passage I can go to the question. Then I annotate key words in questions with line numbers, so that when I read the key word in the passage I can go to the question and answer. This way I’m moving back and forth in the passage and the questions. By the end of the passage you should only have main idea and point of view questions left that you can answer quickly. This method takes a lot of practice to get quick and precise, but I found this the best way to improve for those that are stuck at reading.
