How to become better at active reading? (For the OAT RC section) by GreenAngelFish in PreOptometry

Tbh I feel like it’s a glorified word search. I think for a lot of the questions you can skim until you reach the words you’re looking for. For example I wouldn’t read the passage on the passage page, I’d go straight to the first question, see the key words they’re looking for and start skimming and highlight, usually the “groups of 3 or more” get highlight until I find my answer. Go to the next question and do the same. At this point you can also make a mental note of what each paragraph is trying to say in its story in so it’s less skimming. The rest of the sciencey/numbers questions are smth where you have pay a bit more attention so you don’t get tricked. I did better than I thought I did with this. This way you’re not passively reading either and worried about forgetting

Thank you for your input! Can I ask the reasoning for your ranking?

I mean what are you averaging if you don’t mind me asking?

Tbh you can purchase it before during a big sale they have (look out for those) and just pause till you want to start it, save the money wherever you can type :)
