The first technique, I have been using since first grade lol
Same!
Same! I thought everyone did this. It's literally the easiest way, because once you get a vague idea of where the information is you can answer questions within seconds.
Same! It’s so much easier and so much faster but sometimes if it’s not a lot of reading I’ll read the whole thing
Same
Same
Skim the passage, jump to the Q, refer to the passage;
Intro, thesis, topic sentence & transitions. Best strategy I do prefer.
The tips help me a lot, just read the questions first then skim the passage, do the mc, then the short questions last long questions
Edit : Underline everything important
sat doesn’t have short answer
AYE MORAX
I literally have my reading sats in less than 2 hours. Thank you so much!
How’d it go?
Rip
Thank you gohan, I've had countless teary sleepless nights, stressing over each and every assignment and essay, you're the only person I know who gives practical and relatable advice
Here a tip when reading look out for buts because they are generally gonna show up in questions. Also after every passage or so take 5-10 second mental break where you take a deep breathe. It’ll help you from making silly mistakes
TY my PSAT tomorrow
@@nevernothing1929 yeah good luck
bro i can't afford a 10s break between each passage that's a whole minute right there
Yes I kinda do both sometimes and they help save time too.
I just realised I have been using the first strategy for years without noticing 😅
Edit:believe it or not, 9 likes is the most likes I have ever gotten
I struggle with reading, thank you
Also, I found that if it's just a paragraph or in many simple wrighting formats, you can easily find the main idea of the passage in the thesis or conclusion without even having to read the rest of the passage. It also helps you better understand what the passage is trying to tell you. For example, if the thesis says it's an argument about carrots being better for you than cake, you will avoid mistakes while skimming, maybe thinking that it's about why carrots have more vitamin c than carrot cakes or just very small ones such as thinking it's not an argumentative, and actually an informational passage about why carrots are healthy.
Thats what I do sometimes. It’s somewhat tedious having to memorize what you just read to answer the question only to find that you have to refer back to it over and over again until you find your answer
Guys hear me out, what if you take 5 minutes to thoroughly read the passage, so the questions would be easier and you would only need 5-6 minutes to answer a set. With a thorough understanding, you’ll know a lot of the answers without even looking back
i just couldn't finish anything in time, i applied for accommodations too late so i was not expecting to have to extra time💀
For the MCQ's in my AP classes(Lang and APUSH)
I just skip the reading and go straight to the questions looking back at where it says to go. They always do them in order anyways, by the time it gets to a summarization question I've read pretty much the whole thing🤷♀️.
Never read any books other than like 2 sci fi books and I got a 36 on the ACT reading section. The tip about reading a lot of books honestly makes no difference on your performance in the reading section. It’s all about what strategy you use.
nah reading more helps for some
Reading section is the easiest for Indian students since we get 2 unseen passages in every single English exam conducted in school even if it is of 1 hour or 3 hours .
i tried this and actually improved! U just earned a new sub!
My tips are to look at the questions first and then read the passage
The first technique is literally something that i have been doing since elementary school and will be doing tomorrow for my high school mid terms as well. It works but some people do the second technique to save time
My strategy was to read the passage super thoroughly (in about 6-8 minutes) then spend the final time I had left for the passage (5-7 minutes, so 13 minutes for the whole thing) answering questions.
For a while I was doing some annotation method but it didn't work in practice since I would just get behind and have to rush the last 2 passages.
To be fair I did rush the last passage on every test, but I've also always been really good at crunching (I very rarely don't finish tests and stuff, even if I'm terribly off pace)
To be fair I got a 36 on reading, so not that great, but I got it up from probably like a 30
I took the ISEE twice, the first time I took a reading practice test I scored a 3, after learning the first tip I scored in the top 4% with a 9. These are great tips.
Bro we had a whole lesson on these techniques in 8th grade and he made us take an SAT which most of us failed but the people who took the strategies seriously got like a pretty a good grade.
I do the evidence and word meaning first(the “in lines 4-5” questions) then do the less specific questions because after reading the few lines I get the idea and can normally answer easily. Idk it works for me and I normally score high on English, not math.
Bro why did I get this on my recommend AFTER my reading exam
You really have all the necessary advices!
The 2 one I always used at least someone agrees it good to do 👍 thx for the other tip
Another one is to see the question, look at which sentences it refers to and skim for key words. Are they asking about a quote and what it meant? Read the quote and 2 sentences before and after it. Always worked for me!
I used the first technique and it got me a 750
@Harshith Vavilikolanu rip? That’s pretty decent, considering the fact that he might’ve gotten a better score in math
@@vacuumtundra I got a 800 on math .
So net score was a 1550 .
@@vacuumtundra I have gotten 800 on math .
@@parthdua1337 that’s good!
@@parthdua1337is it hard to get a 1450?
The skimming is how I got 100% on a practice ap english test by not actually reading the full passage!
I have never heard of someone recommending anything other than the last one
(NOT TRYING TO BRAG, JUST SHARING MY THOUGHTS.) Honestly, I was at a 7th grade reading level at the age of 6, and now I am at a 9th grade reading level in middle school. My mom had been planning this success since I was 1. I did 2 years preschool, and read every single day in daycare, preschool, and early elementary. Then when I was in 3rd grade I was pulled into homeschool due to covid and I still do homeschool to this day. Honestly, from a practical reading genius, just use this persons tips and if you want a tiny little boost, start reading YEARS ahead of time. Trust me, it will help.
This is the definition of "Work smarter, not harder."
There strategies are great, but I think reading the whole passage and having an in-depth understanding is the way to go for the 700s-800.
I remember that when I was younger my teacher would give us similar activities and I wouldn’t even read the passages sometimes and still score a 100% 😂
I've been using the second technique since forever and it's the best thing ever
Hey, I don’t know if this would work for everyone but what I did during my test was pretend that I’m gonna have to present on the topic each reading passage was covering. This doesn’t work for literature but for every other passage, I was able to look at the passage and phrase it in a manner that made more sense to me.
I used the second technique and I got a 720 which is good for me
Teach me please
ive tried the second one multiple times, but for some reason it’s just easier for me to read the passage and then read/answer the questions
The first technique is very useful for other languages. I am from Bangladesh so we have to study Bangla AND English and since most Bangla videos on UA-cam are a bit cringe I got good at English, but my Bangla suffered. Now when we have paragraphs to answer questions from I use the first technique.
i have been using the 2nd trick since 1st grade
Another strategy is to read the text thoroughly and understand the key points and you can take a short time answering the multiple choice questions
Fr I used to read the whole thing bc im skilled at it and correctly answered pretty much all of the questions. Eventually I decided naps are more important than putting in my all so I just jumped to the questions and guessed on them, then refer to the specified lines and read them and double checked my answers. Cut off at least 5 minutes of my time and I got pretty much the same scores as before. It does work
I've done both these things my whole life pretty much
I’d say skim questions before reading, but don’t focus on it too much. You may get stuck trying to find answers while you read the first time instead of getting the gist of the passage first, then going back to certain points.
someone who finally agrees with me that this is better than just reading the entire text
I've been doing this since primary because if u just read the entire thing u might forget some details
I remember my 5th grade teacher taught me these exact same tips and i completely forgot people do it the other way
the second strategy , i use from 2nd grade!
As a person who had trouble reading and didnt know how to read and spell correctly until the 3rd grade, its way easier then it sounds, just use Character Ai a lot for a few months 😂, now i use words like diplomatic and compident, way better then whatever this is, its like when you go to a country and pick up an accent
yeah i do that but the reading part is still a massive pain
Remember: Quality is better than Quantity
I was always told not to look at the questions first, as you will have to look at them after reading. It's redundant
That's literally what I've been doing for years😭
same💀
These don’t always work for everyone, great as they are. Sometimes it’s just better to quickly go over the entire passage while marking important details. If you were to only look at the parts mentioned in the question, you may lose track of the bigger picture, and some questions actually require you to have a deep understanding of the context.
i've been doing this since i began reading, its pretty handy tbh
literally the most simple yet effective "reading" that almost everyone use from first grade
I didn't use either; I read the passage very carefully and in depth and then would answer the questions on my own without looking at the answer choices and then choose the answer choice closest to the answer I said. This strategy got me a 790/800 on the SAT for reading.
Whereas it sounds great, your technique seems to be a little bit difficult for beginners, as they do not possess a good comprehension capability ( ? )
wait yall actually read it I just read the questions and skim the passage to find it
I'm 11 and can read 500 pgs in 35 mins I did like the tip though and realised I've been using the 2nd method since I was 6 and1/2
I'm starting to read a lot more, but there are lots of times I go back if I want to actually remember certain parts.
I always use the second one and it's much easier to me
But they’re changing the format soon, its gonna be done on a computer. Like how are we supposed to mark and also jump btw the passage and questions easily ☹️
I participated in a virtual sat study a few weeks ago and the reading/grammar sections were really easy and there was an annotation tool for marking things. It was absolutely awful for the math though, so I’m very happy that I’ll be finished with the sat this year.
I use that trick since 2018
ty this is gonna help my sister in 2 months
Digital SAT is another game now😂
I'm horrible at math but I'm rlly good at English
Same here
Math Is easy if you study
Pray for me guys please I have the biggest exam tomorow that would depend on 75 percent on my school year and I’m trying to study better to get a good job and I’m in secondary
OMG TYSM I GOT A PERFECT SCORE
What I do is I read the passages then answer the questions , in that order no reading questions in advance
I actually do this
i always use the second tip, i did that on my OSSLT (a literacy test required to graduate) sometimes i wouldn’t read the entire text but only the parts that answer the questions. If i felt like i didn’t understand, then I would read the entire text
Hey! Make a video on Digital SAT
The second technique, I've been using it since 1st grade
TYSM SATS R TMR
The 2nd one is what I do in every language exam, be it English or hindi
table reveal??
Lmfao
No way lol
Hey, I just noticed that what you were using was a practice sat 😊 thanks for
The tip ❤
This content is a beacon of sophisticated thought. Reading a book with akin themes enriched my intellectual pursuits considerably. "Dominating Your Clock: Strategies for Professional and Personal Success" by Various Authors
When you're not from US and sat structures and stuff is completely different and you have only 4 practice tests😪
This is the technique I was using since birth!
Thank you. I have the reading paper soon.
Thanks I really need tips and this will help
These tips also work for the mcq section on the AP English exams with technique one being better for the lang exam and technique two being better for the lit exam
I have been using this technique since soooo long
I did this a lot in Cambridge Reading exam. Good old times when I was studying for KET.😢
I always use the second technique cuz it's way easier
I do the second one all the time
That's helpful
I've been using these 2 strategies without realizing it :D
The first technique I've used all my life and I'm in grade 7
I need more information and necessary action and book of ACT and SAT will keep
I can't believe people actually read the entire thing before answering the text questions
Same. I don’t do SATs or whatever it is as I’m not American but we have lots of reading in our exams. I don’t bother reading it at all. I read the questions first.
I SAW THIS 1 DAY AFTER SATs AND I FIND READING HARD
what I do is I look at the question find the area it's gonna be in look for answer and that's how I use 2 minutes to finish a homework
May God bless you all and your loved ones and have a blessed day, night and life!✝️💝.
second technique ehh. mostly they're just vocab questions
I just took my sat yesterday. I little late with the recommendation youtube
This is a nice trick 😊😊
this doesn't apply to narrative passages though
"Years in advance"....Im 18 with an sat score of 800. My gpa is like a 2.8 and most universities gpa requirement are like 3.0. I wasted my life because Im a slob and only focused about having fun. I didn't take my education seriously because my parents always spoiled me and now I sit there playing video games while my parents struggle to take care of me.
