«• Remember that reading each text in detail before answering the questions is a recipe for failure. After looking carefully at the title and accompanying pictures in order to make predictions about the content of the text, quickly go through the questions before SKIMMING the passage for gist and a general sense of how the text is organized. This strategy will save time when you SCAN for the sections of the passage which are relevant to the questions.
• While skimming, it is a good idea to underline proper nouns, e.g. names, countries, figures, and percentages and key phrases and words that you feel may be connected to the questions.»
