RC strategy?

[Malolo355]

Hi!
Can somebody tell me if there is any strategy for the Reading Comprehension section?
Should one skim through the text without reading every detail?
I also want to know if the way that questions appear is relevant to the text's structure.
For example, question 1 is answered somewhere in the beginning of the passage and the last question is answered in the conclusion.
Thanks in advance!

When it comes to Reading Comprehension (RC), I don't believe that there's one specific approach that works best for everyone. I always recommend that students spend some time experimenting with different strategies to see which one best suits their memory, reading speed and English proficiency.

Having said that, when reading ANY Reading Comprehension (RC) passage, it's crucial that you engage 100% in the passage. So, rather than approach a new passage with dread ("I don't enjoy reading it at all"), try to feign interest ("Excellent! This passage is about stock market regulations in Mexico!"). The better your engagement, the better the results.
