    1-READ PASSAGE FIRST(spend 4-5 min)
    2-SAVE KHAN ACADEMY PASSAGES FOR THE END,
    3-USE "The Princeton review- SAT premium Prep"(for math and reading)
    4-Use "PrepVantage SAT reading- Literature & History passages"(or the science one of this company too)
    5- Read word by word(in a whisper tone), dont skim (like we all always do lol)

    Totally agree on the first reading tip, never got why people recommend reading the questions first as I always found myself jotting down more wrong answers than when I read the text slowly first

      I totally agree! I consider myself to be a VERY STRONG reader, but my 2023 Princeton Review SAT Prep book (yes, you read that correctly, the Princeton Review) told me to use this strategy! On test day, it was a disaster. I was guessing, and when the time was up, I still had an ENTIRE PASSAGE unread! Truly an awful strategy, would not recommend to anyone. I am so glad this video has cleared this up. Thanks Preaching P!

      Actually that was funny but it depends on a person there are some people that can never understand a passage if they read it or they get bored, it advisable for some people to read the questions first.@@kylemccormick3450

    my second language is English so understanding the reading section is actually a lot easier than most people...
    if you need help interpreting a passage here are some tips:
    *underline TONE words to help you discover the purpose of a characters attitude towards something.
    *understand the time period of the passage
    *if experiment, understand why the experiment happened and underline this
    *reading slowly and underlining (think with your pen) it helps your brain remember topics and brain interpreting it.

      I was straight grinding about 5 days a week during the summer with 2 study sessions a day. In addition, I was doing a full length practice test every week. During the school year, I know it gets busy, but you have to get in your hours. I would study for AT LEAST 1-2 hours a day 4-5 days a week with a practice test EVERY SINGLE WEEK. Once it got closer to the exam, I increased this to two practice tests a week and i bumped up my studying hours to ~3hrs on several days in a week (I did this for about 2-3 weeks). As long as you're pacing yourself and not getting too burnt out, definitely increase the volume of practice significantly in the weeks before your exam. You will thank yourself so much for it.
