💡 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.
