TOEFL Reading Tips and Practice | How to Scan

FREE Vocab Guide: www.prepscholar.com/yt
So, what is the one skill that you should really know for the TOEFL Reading section? It's scanning.
What's scanning? It's a way of reading. A lot of students get confused about this, so let's be clear about what kind of reading it is.
There are two words in English that are often confused: skim and scan. To skim something is to look over it casually, getting the general idea of it. For example, if you want to get a general idea of what's going on in the news, you might skim the newspaper.
We're not talking about skimming. We're talking about scanning. And it's a very different kind of reading. In fact, it's almost the opposite of reading casually for the general idea.
When we scan, we are reading specifically for an exact word or phrase. In fact, we may not even understand exactly what is said in the passage we're reading. We're simply looking for a specific word or phrase.
