Don't Just Read, Do Something! The temptation will be simply to read the passage and then jump into the questions. The problem with this approach is that your grasp of the passage will be superficial. Moderately difficult questions will trick or stump you. You will have to reread the passage nonsystematically. In fact, you might even answer every question without feeling that you ever understood this passage!

When the passage is unfriendly, you should NOT just read it! There is a better way. Students use three general methods to learn something new:
(1) They read, as when they read a college textbook (or this guide).
(2) They write, as when they take notes during a college lecture.
(3) They listen, as during a lecture in a college course.
You can build your comprehension more quickly and effectively—especially when the passage is unfriendly—by using more than one learning method. Under normal circumstances, you cannot have someone read the passage aloud to you. Nor can you read the passage aloud to yourself (although you might benefit from mouthing it or quietly mumbling to yourself). Thus, you should make use of WRITING, which activates a second learning process that facilitates comprehension.

Identifying and writing down key elements of the passage will force you to read ACTIVELY as opposed to passively. If you write in the right way, your comprehension of unfriendly passages will improve dramatically. Indeed, you should develop a writing strategy for every passage during practice, because you need that strategy to be robust under all circumstances.

Of course, it is not possible to rewrite an entire passage in the time allocated for Reading Comprehension questions. But even writing and summarizing key elements will help you understand the structure and content of a passage while saving you time for questions.
