Reading for Structure, Not Just Content

Unlocking Passage Organization

Understanding how a passage is structured helps you answer questions faster and more accurately.

  • Identify Paragraph Roles: Introduction, evidence, counterargument, conclusion.
  • Follow Logical Flow: Notice transitions and signposts.
  • Map the Passage: Create a quick outline in your mind or on paper.

Strategic Advantage

Recognizing structure helps with both comprehension and inference questions.

Examples

  • Noticing that the middle paragraphs provide examples supporting the main argument.

  • Spotting a transition from a problem to a proposed solution in the text.
