Strategy for Reading Comp SCIENCE Qs

by and1ms238 » Wed Feb 03, 2010 12:09 pm
I've done fairly well on all RC EXCEPT science related passages. Now, the goes back to my middle/high school days when I dreaded taking science courses. I always feared big and wordy textbooks on science topics. Well, that fear is back! I have a tough time getting through complicated science passages. I feel that I'm overwhelmed with the different comparisons, arguments, and most of all - understanding the message. Again, this is a reoccurring problem with SCIENCE related passages.

Does anyone have a similar problem? Have you found a way to overcome this hurdle?

Also, if you ARE successful in Science related passages... do you have any tips/hints/suggestions for me and the community?

Please Share! Thank you.

Hi,

It's pretty natural for many people to fear Science passages. Best way to get rid of that fear is to familiarize yourself with science passages.

Read articles from sites like Scientific American or Science Daily everyday. Spend at least 30 minutes in reading the articles everyday. I'm sure that you would be able to come off the fear.
