Tips on reading faster

Hi what would you guys recommend for reading faster ?

Cant Get Right

I wouldn't recommend anything at all. You will always sacrifice comprehension for speed, and that is always a really negative trade-off which, perhaps ironically, often results in being slower. If you're ESL and struggling with a level of proficiency shy of fluency, that's a different issue. Speed isn't your real problem and you should practice improving your English: books, film, conversation, lessons, whatever works for you.

Instead of reading faster, read comfortably and carefully. Then, use the increased comprehension resulting from that to act more decisively. Speed on the LSAT is not a result of reading super fast. It comes from being able to be productive and keep moving forward. If you understand what's going on based on having read the material well, you can usually identify exactly what the right next step is. Even when you don't understand something, you're in far better shape because you at least understand the nature of that misunderstanding. With that, you can make a much better--and much more time efficient--decision about what to do about it.
