Attack Each Blurb!Reading Test 1!Order of Difficulty

GRAMMAR & READING CHEAT SHEET

"4-STEP READING METHOD!"

Step 1: Read the Blurb!- Frame your mind"- Adjust your mind-set to the current passage from the last passage."- Anticipate how the passage will read."- Will passage be touchy-feely and filled with emotional situations or fact-

based with straight, “black and white” info?""Step 2: Attack the Questions !

- Read the questions but ignore the answer choices"- The passage questions will give you an idea/direction of the story!- ID the later (L) questions of the passage"- Leave a trail in the margins for early (E) line/paragraph reference questions"- Underline key words within question"- Step 2 should take no more than 60 seconds (for both ACT & SAT)""

Step 3: Skim and Take Quick Notes "- You should be able to read 10 lines in 10-20 seconds"- Use 2-3 key words to Quick Note the main idea of paragraph within margin"- Break up a long paragraph into smaller parts, if necessary""

Step 4: Attack the Answers!- When you run into early (E) questions, completely skim paragraph, then

attack answers from the bottom up"- Cross out answers that are definitely wrong"- If stuck between two answers, go back to passage and shake out the best

answer but don’t blow your pace"- “Guess and Go” when necessary""

For Reading Passage Drills Homework!"- re-read and get very familiar with the 4-step method outlined above"- time yourself 8.5mins (ACT timing) then pause"- write down the number of questions you have left (to track your pacing)"- time yourself with an additional 2.5mins (or 4.5mins for SAT timing)"- when finished, circle the questions that gave you the most trouble."- check your answers by using solutions to understand and improve 4-step

method"- your goal is to finish each passage in 8.5mins for ACT or 13mins for SAT"- take a break then do another passage, if you can""Estimated time for completion: 10-15mins per passage including review
