I practiced Barron's model exam two RC, and did BAD, b/c most of question require me to remember the little details in the passage, which was diffuculty for me since I don't remember details by skimming.

Do you use any technique to keep track the little details in the passage? If so, please let me know. Thanks!

It is impossible to remember every little detail so I write down details.
I always run out of time but IMO it is better to me.
 
how do you write down the details? just underline the keyword on the side, or just underline them?
 
I actually don't write anything down when I read the passages. I just try to skim though each paragraph and look for key words and that works well for me. 🙂

Practice just looking up the answers in the passage. I am a slow reader and had a bad test day too and hit a 21 in reading comp. If you are a relatively slow reader and have trouble remembering the details (like I do) i suggest trying this passage. There is enough time for this method and you really cant get below a 20 by using this technique.
