1-The questions that contain extreme words are always wrong 2-if there is the word (indicates)in questionTHE RIGHT ANSWER IS ALWAYS A TRANSLATION TO THE CITATION (given lines) . 3-The too general answers are always wrong

[@04-shaikatjahan52]

Can you explain the second point?

[@liyajohnson7405]

@@04-shaikatjahan52 i think the second point means that if there is the word 'indicates' in the question the right answer will be a rephrased version of the citation.

[@shreypatel1019]

These tips are really helping me answer these questions better. My biggest weakness was reading, you've really helped me turn that around.

[@jerrywang2991]

The first statement is so true

[@akameyamamaoto6949]

i feel like the questions i struggle with most are the ones like "what function does this sentence play in the passage as a whole?" or "to make this paragraph more logical, sentence # should be placed..." questions im taking the sat in five days (dec 2nd) so im hoping i can master those before then

[@ericji8632]

loved the tips, but I love the cup more. Where can i buy one of those cups?

[@minjaekim680]

what about the "inferred" questions? how would you solve them?

[@PrepwithJen]

Inference questions are some of the most advanced. You first need to have a solid understanding of the text because these questions ask you to draw conclusions based on what you're reading. Be careful not to confuse inference with assumption. The latter is unsupported, while the former is directly implied by the text. I will be releasing a video soon on how to improve reading comprehension, so make sure to subscribe and click the bell if you want to see that.

[@CruceEntertainment]

Yes I resignisentate with this.

[@sunfxded]

that doesn’t make sense

[@riskygadget4life]

Just a quick question. Will this work for any sat question on the reading section?

[@medoahrarli238]

is it fine if I ask how long it took you to get good at passage reading

[@PrepwithJen]

I don't mind the question, but to be honest, it's hard to answer. I've practiced reading since I was young and am still honing the skill today. In terms of SAT-specific reading, it didn't take too long, because I just had to learn the format. How long it will take you depends on your current skill level and how much time and effort you're willing to devote to improving.

[@fotballidolfacts]

Good

[@mnm__studios]

I can't focus while reading the reading section passages.... ANY TIPS FOR THAT ?

[@CruceEntertainment]

She would say that you have to get yourself interested in what you are about to read, saying to yourself “wow, I really want to know more about this”

[@mameemia]

Meditation, on bringing your mind back when it wanders!! ADHD ??

[@MrKaziMan]

You think I could improve my sat score by 150+ in 1.5 months. I’m prob takin it in March and I’m getting like 1050-1100 on khan academy

[@PrepwithJen]

I've definitely seen it done. Create a plan and stick to it and you'll improve your chances.

[@avory7938]

Khan Academy's SAT practice isn't an accurate representation of how the SAT is, it's actually much harder. (for math anyways, I don't know about reading and writing)
