How’d u do?

[@fromthetenthdimension2983]

@@nyle836 Very well, top 96%

[@nyle836]

from the tenth dimension damn any tips for the reading and vocabulary section, I think I’m fine in math

[@fromthetenthdimension2983]

@@nyle836 well not a lot of tips for vocab since my strategies were learned here, well for the reading normally the best strategy for finishing on time is to not read the passage first but instead read the questions and find the answers straight back in the passage. The benefit to this way is that you don't read unnecessary parts of the passage but the downside is that your understanding of the passage would be less and therefore you would need better understanding skills. I used this and got nearly full marks on my reading.
