I've tried something new recently as well and it has helped a bit. Thoughts on it would be great too.
I used to try and read the passage in 4-5 minutes but now I read much slower and I sometimes spend 6-6.5 minutes reading and 3.5 -4 minutes answering questions. I have found that slowing down that much allows me to exactly pinpoint where in the passage the question may reference or just be able to recall much quicker by allowing myself to comprehend at a better level by slowing down.
Although people try to finish the passage reading as quick as possible, that doesnt work for everyone.
