How can I practice my "Reading to Learn" skills? 

"Reading to Learn" questions measure how well you can absorb information you've read and retain the important points of a passage. Here are a few tips to help you master this section of the test:

  • While you are reading a passage, summarize the major points by creating a chart or outline.
  • Practice paraphrasing individual sentences in a passage, and then progress to paraphrasing an entire paragraph. Paraphrasing skills are important because you will be tested on your ability to recognize paraphrases (in reading) and to create paraphrases (when writing and speaking).
