Concept 1 of 3

Skim then scan strategy

For 100-word passages:

  1. Skim in 30 seconds — catch the gist.
  2. Read each question — note keyword.
  3. Scan for the keyword. Read 1-2 sentences around it.
  4. Pick the option that's in the passage (not your prior knowledge).
Example
Q: "What did Aarav forget?" → Find Aarav + forget/forgot in the text.
💡 Tip:Don't re-read the whole passage for each question — wastes time.
