Question

Which of the following should you not do on the first sweep when looking at a passage on the reading section of the ACT?

Question 20 options:
determine which passage you are looking at
quickly skim over the passage in 20-30 seconds
skim key parts
read the entire passage from start to finish

Answer 1

You shouldn’t read the entire passage from start to finish.
You’re not going to memorize the whole passage and when you start reading the questions, it will ask you to read again. If you read first, you’ll waste a lot of time.
