Short Reading Notes

Brief paragraphs followed by questions
Sometimes 2 paired paragraphs followed by 3-4 questions
STEP 1: read questions first!
STEP 2: only read what you need to answer the questions

DIFFERENT QUESTION TYPES (DO IN THIS ORDER)

• Line Reference
• Vocab In Context (generally a word with multiple meanings)
• Inference (read between the lines)
• Main Idea 
• Argument (skip possibly)

PSATs

I thought the PSATs were a reasonable length. They could have been a little later so I was more awake. I actually had a sleepover the night before and got like no sleep but i still felt pretty prepared. I used the fill in the blank tricks. I forgot that you could skip some and I didn't skip any.
