I have always thought I was a decent reader, but this test showed me I needed to do a few things when I came to reading:
1) Read faster
2) Learn to read
But honestly, I took the paper version of this test, so font wasnât an issue. Re-reading was. I would read a passage, answer the question, move onto the next question, re-read part of the passage, answer the question, and so onâ¦.this was an endless cycle for me. In the end, I ran out of time 4/5 of the way through the test and received a 49 for my score. That sucked, because now I have to take Social Science & History.
All in all, this test wasnât hard. Time management seemed to be the key. I know I could have moved a bit faster, but in the back of my mind I thought I had plenty of time. I was wrong. Then again, I took this test without any prior practice tests and not reading any of the feedback on the test from this forum. Had I done that, I believe I would have had no problem with the test.
