Hi everyone, 🙂
its good to hear everyon is doing well in their tests. I have a problem and maybe someone can seriously help. I'm having a really heard time with reading, and it seems even after practicing i've made no real improvement. so is there any tips?!?! Ive been practicing kaplan method but the only problem i have is.. am i intended to read the entire passage, or just read the first few sentences of each paragraph, formuate a topic, and just rush through the rest. I find that writing keywords takes alot of time. i also read somewhere that while skimming, you should not be reading it out loud in your mind... i need some clearification my test is coming up.... also if anyone knows tips for top front end, it would be deeply apprecited. 🙁

I read the question first and then started reading the passage. When I got to the answer I went to the next question and kept reading. It worked pretty well for me. I didn't take KAPLAN though, so I'm not familiar with that method.

did you read for the answer or skim for it? and what should be my average read rate for using this method
thanks for responding

I try the Kaplan reading method the first time i took the DAT, I didn't do so well. I thought it took too long just to make the roadmaps, and it definitely distracted me from the main ideas of the passage.

The second time I took the DAT, I read the passage one time through first, then look at the overall structure of the passage and did the questions. I ended up doing a lot better than using the Kaplan method. For me, I think understanding the main idea of the passages are more important than writing the keywords, which was clearly a distraction. That's my opinion on the KAPLAN method.
