Reading Passage 1. Skim the MC section in a minute. Decide which passage is the easiest for you and start there! Save the MEANY for last. If you run out of time, at least you will have accumulated more points. (If you go out of numerical order, however, double-check your answers carefully to make certain that you don't fill in the wrong slots!) 2. Read for the whole context first. Try reading the first one or two sentences and the last one or two to get an idea of the scope of the passage. Skim over the wording looking for TEXTURE--places where you will find such things as REPEATED DICTION, SYNTAX CLUMPS and/or an abundance of IMAGERY. 3. After you skim read and annotate briefly, quickly move through the questions, making temporary guesses. 4. Eliminate, marking through the answers that do NOT fit. 5. Refer back to the passage if needed.
