Hello!

I am curious. what articles do y'all read daily that would help your reading speed/comprehension. I hear that some people read articles off the ADA but i thought you had to be a member to read those. I read Scientific American. It's a good source with a lot of interesting topics.

Scientific American. It's dense but prepares you.

RC is one of my strongest areas, and I don't 'practice' per se. I'm an avid reader (Stephen King is by far my favorite) and I think the ability to read quickly and efficiently is all you really need. I'd say read whatever interests you most as long as you're reading something.

I just read whatever interests me. I try to focus on technical things, like science, or economics. Stuff with numbers or lots of terminology. Some days, though, are just drags and I'll want to read something fun at the end of the day, so I'll pick up a novel. Either way, I just make sure I read something, whatever it is.

Ah very true. Do you recommend any Stephen King books? I'm looking for new books to read.

To be honest I rarely ever read, but when I think to I just click the most interesting title on Bootcamp's reading suggestions. Obviously Science articles will be beneficial, but I have had quite a few passages on technologies.

I can recommend many! My top two are definitely Firestarter and The Long Walk (he wrote that one under his alias though, Richard Bachman). Stephen King can get pretty dark sometimes, but his writing style is so interesting it's worth it.

I'll seek those two out! Thank you! 😀

Read scientific American articles. The reading on the real test isn't too bad and it's nothing the average person can't comprehend. However, instead of picking the most interesting ones, pick the longest ones and time yourself and see if you can read them in about 7 minutes. You want to be prepared for a boring plant article and not necessarily a cool one about dinosaurs like in the tutorial
