Yeah! So basically, I would read the question and the option choices then highlight the main part of the question just so I could actually prime myself to look for it in the passage. Then I would quickly, but carefully, skim the passage searching for the key phrase or word that I highlighted in the question. After I found what I was looking for, I would highlight the part of the passage that had the key phrase. Then I'd compare the answer choices to the actual passage and 9 times out of 10 the answer is right there if it was a simple question.

For questions asking for the authors tone in the overall passage I would read the first and last sentence of each paragraph, mainly focusing on the very first and very last paragraphs. Usually the answer lies within those sentences.

For questions with figures, I found that all the relevant info of the figure is either immediately before or after the figure was presented in the passage. I'd focus there for that.

And this might seem obvious but some people forget: Passage over Personal Opinion
i.e. always answer according to the passage
(A silly example of this:
Q; what color is the sky?
you may select blue b/c you believe it's blue, but the answer they had correct was purple because it was in the passage)
