Does anyone do this or thought of doing this? Could it be potentially helpful since the passages get increasingly difficult, starting with the harder ones would give you a fresher mind. Any thoughts?
Nope. Order has little to do with difficulty in RC. Recently saw quite a toughy in Passage 1. And skipping around is—dare I say it?—a crutch, and it's not a crutch that will help you with anything.
Don't do it, you're just inviting bubbling errors and other issues and as Nicole said the order has nothing to do with difficulty. Some passages are hard, but some are easy, some questions are hard, and some are easy. There is no way to gauge these differences without just doing them so you may as well got start to finish to avoid trouble. There are no tricks so just keep it simple.
@dantab26 you may read the passage for 20 seconds first, if you think this subject might be tough for you, then you move on to the next passage. But I do not suggest you always skip around . To 170 scorers, no matter how hard it is, they will do it. I believe the best to improve your reading comprehension is to read more. Good luck!
