Have you looked at the explanations to see why you are getting the questions incorrect? Is there any pattern?? Try to identify your weaknesses. For me when I first started it was missing tiny details that I read over in the passage to often or not slowing down to read the actual question stems.

hartk48 Posted July 7, 2017 Report Share Posted July 7, 2017 It might take you a while, but give khan academy a shot (or youtube for that matter).. they beauty is that you can pause and reply as many times until it makes sense Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EdnaMode Posted July 7, 2017 Report Share Posted July 7, 2017 Thanks all. I am reviewing it, and it seems I keep missing something each time and after reviewing I am like "Oh Yeah". Is there any method you use when reading the passage? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do a very short passage map, while I'm reading the passage. This allows me to know where certain ideas where in which paragraph and then refer back quicker should the need arise. You should do this as your reading and shouldn't take up much of your time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What's a passage map? And, how do we make one? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MD4DM44 Posted July 10, 2017 Report Share Posted July 10, 2017 So on your scrap paper you would write down the passage number at the top: Then break the passage down into each paragraph on your scrap paper and write a one to three word description of what that paragraph was talking about (very general) Do that for every paragraph, so if a topic comes up in one of the questions you can refer back to it.
