Hi SDN'ers.
I am a slow reader. I have been practicing the different strategies for RC on bootcamp tests. I always have time for only two of the passages and would run out of time getting to the third one. This happens with every test I do. I ama DAT retake (previous RC score was 17). Now, let me get to my method of how I will have time to get to the third one. I haven't practiced this method yet. Please, tell me the pros and cons of this strategy. If the pros outweighed the cons, I will go ahead and do it for my real DAT (well, after practicing it 1st).
The strategy is to first look at how many paragraphs you have for a given passage. Skip to the one with the least paragraphs and start answering it. Then, do the second passage and finally to the passage with the longest paragraphs.
Btw, I am using the BYU4you method "the balanced appraoch," when answering questions http://forums.studentdoctor.net/threads/my-rc-strategy-the-balanced-approach.1138782/
