Hello Junior!
Here are 9 tips today to help you improve your ACT Reading score:
1. As you read, try to find the author's point of view. Recognize bias.
2. Underline significant details. However, be careful of this! You do not want an underlined passage; you want underlined details. No over-underlining syndrome!
3. Time yourself when practicing. Obviously this also implies that YOU MUST PRACTICE. Allot yourself 8 minutes per passage. This will give you 3 minutes at the end to use to check answers, go back to ones you skipped, or to use for a harder passage.
4. Try at least 10 reading practice tests.
5. Go back to the passage when you see a vocabulary in context question. After all, how can you answer it without knowing the context?
6. Make an answer before looking at the answer choices. The one that most closely resembles yours is probably right.
7. Rephrase questions that are convoluted or hard to understand.
8. There will be 1 fiction passage and 3 non-fiction passages. Start with the fiction passage.
9. Bubble carefully! Especially if you skip a question! You do NOT have time to fix bubbling errors!
I hope these tips will help you improve your score!
