How to get a better score in your reading exam(s)?
If you read a reading passage word-for-word, you would never complete the reading task in time. When it comes to reading, timing is a key. One of the best ways to keep timing to a minimum is to skim and scan for the reading. As we practiced in the class, skimming and scanning involves looking for particular information, such as dates,opinions, quotes, comparisons or anything that may be important to the reading passage. You should have a quick look at the questions, skim the text for any important information, then go back and scan for the specific information as they answer the questions.
