@Gibbbby.111 Thank you! I honestly keep forgetting I should be making notes as I do the test. I think making a skeleton will make it seem less complicated.
Hi everyone! Does anyone have advice for handling STEM-based reading comprehension passages?
I'm usually pretty good at reading comprehension, regardless of the topic, but for some reason, I really struggle with long STEM passages. It feels like my brain completely short-circuits, and no matter how hard I try, I can't absorb what I'm reading. I've tried slowing down, taking a break, and even reading aloud, but it doesn't help. I am still just staring at the page without understanding much of it.
I've never disliked science or had trouble understanding it at a basic level, so I'm not sure why these passages are giving me such a hard time.
I would really appreciate any advice or strategies that have helped others overcome this. Thank you!
@SCOTT_LEBO Thank you! I’m gonna try again and just focus on trying to at least identify the transition this week even if I can’t fully process the rest yet.
