Hey folks. I've been averaging about 173/174 on the more recent PTs, but I've noticed that as I improve on the games and the LR, my reading comprehension scores have been dropping (from about -0/-2 per section to about -3/-5). I've almost exclusively been missing main point questions (?!) and author inference questions. Any tips as to what I ought to keep in mind as I tackle these specific question types? I'm so close to where I want to be on this test, and I'm grateful for the help.

    Yea I usually try to ID the points and supports in each paragraph and ID the main point before I get to the questions.

    I think they just made those questions harder on the more recent tests :(

    Have you tried summarizing after each paragraph? Don't write it all out but just make shorthand notes or even just numbering like

    P1 - intro to copyright concept, 2 issues

    P2 - so and so's VP (disagrees w/ Auth)
