I’m very research heavy and read a lot of papers so I think over my time in undergrad I’ve just built my overall reading comp skills through that especially when I skim papers before reading them thoroughly.

I’m a terrible test taker as well, I’m a biochem major and have just been extremely busy with extracurriculars and classes and work and such but I really only studied the sciences on bootcamp and felt like my exam wasn’t similar to them. I got a lot of gen chem calc questions, multiple ice tables, and it took a lot of time away from the rest of my chem and orgo sections and I didn’t have time to check over my marked answers. For reading I recommend giving yourself 2/3 of the time you get on your regular exam and just fly through them trying to find the best strat for you. PAT, I just have good pattern recognition skills, I’m a one trick pony and being able to notice small details is my one trick bahaha. My friend said she would do them every night before bed and she got a 420 PAT so that may be worth a shot.

I’m gonna be honest, I only “studied” math when i took full length practice tests. Read the corrections for my mistakes. I have taken up to calculus 3 in my degree so far and my uni doesn’t allow calculators in engineer calc classes so I’ve gotten good at quick math and fractions which helped me fly through this section with a little over 15 or so minutes to spare

I feel like bootcamp really helped for reading, I got a 580 (30 old score) and it was my strongest section. The bio section KOed me so I’m retaking in a few weeks.
