I'm having problems with reading 🙁. When I took the SAT in high school I did ok. I took the 2007 DAT test and I did horrible!!!! I'm not a native speaker. Any suggestions to improve on my reading? I have plenty of time before my test.
Thanks

Go for the fact based questions first, then go back to the tone / inference questions. Get most of the fact ones right and a few of the non-fact ones, and you're off to a decent score!

I would suggest reading as many scientific articles as you can get your hands on. This will familiarize yourself with the dense material.

Maybe start with SAT reading. Start with small passages (1 paragraph or 2) and gradually increase. Just reading articles won't help. You need to be able to answer questions about the article. Scientific articles are different than say articles about ethics or law or history. Keep practicing is all I can tell you
