hey thanks so much for your strategies. i tried them and it gave my score a huge boost. i was using ExamKrackers which stressed on focusing on the questions (like spending 70% on them), but instead i took a great deal of time reading the passage and when the questions came, the answers just popped out easily
I usually do my worst in art passages, I will try to pick up some artsy articles to read. What do you suggest the optimal time breakdown is for reading and answering questions? I usually spend about 5 minutes reading the passages, and if it's art passages, a bit more because I tend to go back to the point where I didn't understand to re-read and about 3-4 minutes answering questions.
I have a similar breakdown for reading and question time. I like to give that little bit of extra time for reading because I feel that understanding the passage is the most important thing and makes answering Qs much easier.
Just a quick tip on re-reading. Try once, and if it still doesn't make sense, force yourself to move forward. Getting hung up on a detail that may not be important can mess up your timing for the passage.
Great info

I found the same thing when I was preparing. When you know the information in the passage well, it really makes answering the questions much easier.
I found this out because when analyzing my practice I found that the even split of time made me feel more comfortable and gave me the best results.
