Your Missions: Read five passages and answer 10 or 11 questions for each passage ( or set of passages). Get as many points as you can Okay ...so how do you get those points? Let’s start with ETS’s instructions for the Reading Test. DIRECTIONS Each passages or pair of passages below is followed by a number of questions. After reading each passages or pair, choose the best answer to each question based on what is stated or implied in the passage or passages and in any accompanying graphics ( such as a table or graph). Great news! This is an open-book test. Notice the direction say, “based on what is stated or implied in the passage in.” This means ETS is NOT testing to see that you have read, studied , and become and expert on the constitution, The Great Gatsby, or your biology textbook. All ETS cares about is whether or not you can read a text and understand it well enough to correctly answer some questions about it. Unlike the Math or Writing and Language Test, there are no formulas to memorize or comma rules to learn to learn in the Reading Test. You just need to know how to approach the text and the question/answer in order to maximize accuracy and efficiency. It’s all about the text! ( No thinking) Another awesome things about an open-book test is that you don’t have to waste time reading every single word of the passage and trying to become an expert on whatever the topic is. You have the passage right there in front of you. So, move back and forth between the passage and the questions, focusing only on what you need instead of getting mired down in all the little details. Your POOD and Your Reading Test You will get all five of the reading passages at the same time, so use that

to your advantage. Take a quick look through the whole section and figure out the best order for you to do the passages. Depending on your target score, you may be able to skip an entire passage or two, so figure out which passages are likely to get you the most points. Consider: 6 Type of passage: You’ll have one literature passage and two each of science and history/social studies. If you like read novels and short stories, the literature passage may be a good place to start. It you prefer nonfiction, you might consider doing the science and history/social studies first. Topic of passage: The blurb will give you some basic information about the passage that may help you decide whether to do the passage or skip it. Types of question: Do the questions have a good number of line References and Lead Words? Will you be able to find what you’re looking for relatively quickly, or will you have to spend more time wading through the passage to find what you want? Don’t forget: On any questions or passages that you skip, always fill in your LOTD! Basic Approach for the Reading Test Follow these steps for every Reading passage. We’ll go over these in greater detail in the next few pages. 1. Read the Blurb. The little italicized bit at the beginning of each passage may not contain a lot of information, but helpful for identifying
