💡 Tips & Tricks

Proven strategies to boost your score

 
   
🎯
Read the Question First
Before reading the passage, read the question so you know exactly what to look for. This keeps your focus sharp and saves time.
   
🔍
Find the Main Idea
The main idea is usually in the first or last sentence. Ask: "What is this passage mostly about?" — big picture, not details.
   
🚫
Eliminate Wrong Answers
Cross out answers that are too extreme ("always," "never"), off-topic, or contradict the passage. Work from 4 choices down to 1.
   
📌
Context Clues for Vocabulary
Don't know a word? Look at the sentences around it. The passage almost always hints at the meaning through nearby words or examples.
   
Stick to the Passage
Your personal knowledge doesn't matter — only what the passage says. Every answer must be directly supported by the text.
   
🧠
Inference Questions
"What can be inferred" means: what is strongly implied but not directly stated? The answer logically follows from the passage.
   
Watch for Tricky Words
Words like "except," "not," and "best" change everything. Underline them mentally so you don't accidentally answer the opposite.
   
🔄
Re-read When Unsure
If you're stuck, go back to the passage. The answer is always there. Read the relevant sentence(s) once more slowly before choosing.
   
🗺️
Author's Purpose
Ask: Is the author trying to inform, persuade, or entertain? The tone (formal/casual, positive/negative) is a big clue.
   
⏱️
Don't Overthink It
If you've narrowed it to two answers, go with the one most directly supported by the text. Your first solid instinct is usually right!
   
📊
Know Your Target Score
You need 114 or higher to place into college-level reading/English. Use the Practice Tests to see where you stand right now!
   
🏋️
Build Up Difficulty
Start with Easy to build confidence, then Medium, then Hard. Each level gets closer to the real exam's vocabulary and reasoning.
