Hey all,
Is there a good way to get better at the questions involving finding the main point of the passage(s) and understanding/analyzing the purpose of a phrase in context? Also, parsing out the attitude of the author. I'm not doing well with these and unfortunately, they are the kinds of questions that are included in most passage sections without fail. SOS

For some of the more science-based passages, I imagine my high school biology class diagrams and try to picture the thing that the passage discusses if it were illustrated and simplified for the non-science minded. And kind of the same for the law ones, except visualizing how the law would affect a court scene. Humanities depend, more of a struggle through than a grasp.
In picturing the passage that way, I can kind of spin it in my head to see how all the parts are moving together. Need to get faster with it, but I'm still sitting in a solid single-digit range. The low-res reading method JY discusses is hard to reconcile with what I'm already doing, but it is helpful in terms of piecing together the author's attitude and method of reasoning.
