Question Frequency
– Most Common Reading Comprehension Tasks
– Assume 1-3 Questions per Passage
– Possible Tasks for Both Specific and Broad Subjects

Strategic Implications
– If Completed a Full Up-Front Read of Passage Assume ~:60 per Subsequent Question
– If No Up-Front Read Assume Maximum of ~2:00 per Question for Passage
– Restate Task Relating to Subject in Form of a Conventional What or Why Question
– Detail Questions Ask: What was Said?
– Purpose Questions Ask: Why was this Said?

– Use Specific Term or Location Reference to Target Reading
– Read at Least + / – One Sentence to Guarantee Enough Context

Step 3 – Prediction
– Specifically Predict What Answer Should Do by Directly Summarizing What the Passage Said About Subject in Question

Step 4 – Process of Elimination
– Focus on Incorrect Actions and Descriptions for Objective Reasons Four Choices are Definitively Wrong | ie. Reversals, Extremes, Outside Info
– Down to Two – Default to Selecting Choice with a Less Absolute Claim and Fewer Direct Terms from Passage | Go Bland!
