There is no penalty for a wrong answer, so you should always provide an answer, even if it’s a guess.  \nWhen practicing, never leave a mistake behind. You’ll repeat errors if you don’t identify and learn from them, so you must understand the answer to every question you ever practice. The best way to make sure you actually know a concept is to teach it to someone else.  \nNever do a timed practice without a scantron. Yes, you have to practice bubbling. Many students make mistakes by filling in a different bubble than they intended or by skipping a line. Don’t be one of them.  \nFormat of the SAT Reading Section  \nThe 52 questions are divided into five passages with 10 or 11 questions each. The passages typically appear in the same order: (1) U.S. or world literature,(2) history or social science,(3) science,(4) history or social science, and (5) science.  \n10 Tips for the SAT Reading  \nQuestions: 52 Total  \n(13 minutes per passage)  \nTime: 65 Minutes  \nNow for the specific tips:  \n1. Light your fire  \nThe SAT Reading section happens first – so you need to be ready to be super focused the moment you start. As we like to say, this is the time to light your fire! When you sit down for the Reading section, you should feel sharp and focused. Believe that you’re going to find those answers quickly. Pacing is key. Be mentally prepared to sit down and do it.  \n2. Read for the main idea  \nApproach the section by first getting through a passage in about 3.5 minutes. On this initial read, your goal should be to know where information is, not to memorize perfectly what every sentence says. You’ll refer back to the passage to answer the questions, so you just need to know where to find content when you know what the questions areasking for.  \n3. Find the answer  \nYour job is to find the answers. Don’t rely on your memory. Look back in the passage and find the answer that you’re looking for. And to preview tip \\#4, make sure you’re answering the question that’s being asked.  \nEveryone’s Private Tutor.®  \n4. Answer the question asked  \nSAT Reading questions can be sneaky. Sometimes, the answer choices will be accurate; they will be real things from the passage, but they won’t answer the question being asked. You must understand: just because something is accurate from the passage doesn’t mean it’s the right answer to that question.  \n5. Understand your task  \nThe goal isn’t for you to call us after the SAT and tell us every detail about the beautiful reading passages.  \nInstead, we want to hear how you found every answer. Your job is not to read and then remember for  \nhours or for days; your job is to read so that you’re finding answers to questions. For example, if you had an open book science test, you wouldn’t go to your desk and first read the chapter from start to finish. Instead, you would identify what a question is asking and then go find the answer. Same thing here: your job is to play hide-and-go-seek. All the information is there; you just have to find it.  \n6. Eliminate extremes  \nIf you ever see a question with answers that say “always, never, the best, or the worst,” those answers aren’t correct. The passages won’t describe offensive or extreme situations or beliefs, so those types of extreme answers won’t be correct.  \n7. Read actively  \nIf you find yourself reading and nothing is sinking in, then you must refocus yourself. Take a moment;  \nadjust your posture; close your eyes; take a deep breath. Return to the passage when you can read  \nactively and stay sharp. When you get to a question and it asks about a bug’s mating call, you must be able to go,“Oh yeah, that mating call sentence was right here,” and then find that precise line in the passage. You’ll constantly be going back and forth between the passage and the ques","cbCaitg6bFPXEk7k","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaitg6bFPXEk7k","pdf",655054,"English","# Resource Manual\n## Format of the SAT Reading Section\n## 10 Tips for the SAT Reading\n## Light your fire\n## Read for the main idea\n## Find the answer\n## Answer the question asked\n## Understand your task\n## Eliminate extremes\n## Read actively\n## Know your order\n## Underline key information\n## Never insert your own ideas","[{\"question\":\"What general rules should you follow for SAT Reading practice?\",\"answer\":\"Never leave an answer choice blank.
