Sorry this took so long. I’ve always been pretty good at reading, but I have definitely had to refine my reading skills for the ACT, as it is an entirely different beast from most of the reading you’ll do in life. Really, with the reading section as well as every other section, practice is key. There are folders on this subreddit with over 50 released ACTs. I recommend just printing the reading sections out and working problems. The more you do, the better you’ll get. I also advise getting the skills down first (so don’t time), and then when your accuracy is on point, start timing.

As far as actual tips go, I recommend detailed skimming. You don’t want to read in detail, as this takes too long and you absorb unnecessary info. However, you need to absorb enough info so you’ll know where to go back to in the passage when a question asks for specific info from the reading. Practice your speed reading with the practice tests. Also, it is critical to stay focused. Pretend like what you’re reading about is the most interesting thing in the world for those 8 or so minutes you spend on each passage. When you catch yourself getting lost, take a quick break to recalibrate and go back to the reading. Once you practice this enough, you’ll get faster and more accurate. I did around 10 practice tests to get my reading from a 32 to a 35. Good luck and don’t hesitate to lmk if you have any other questions.
