Passage A/B Strategy

in Reading Comprehension 111 karma

Hi, all!

I just took PT 90 and watched the RC explanation video for the comparative passages. I noticed that JY read Passage A, attempted the questions, then went back to read Passage B and answer/confirm any remaining questions.

Is this a good strategy to adopt? Thanks!

    It's really up to you. I've never done it that way and have been fine on comparative passages. I usually am either perfect or miss 1 question on comparative passages. I would say try out his strategy and see if it is right for you. If not, just read both together and then dive into the questions. Best of luck!

    It basically makes you less likely to confuse the content of the two passages, which is something they try to induce in many answer choices.

    This is what I am thinking. I am going to try out both strategies and see which one serves me best!

    I totally agree. Thanks, you too!
