Read the Questions First

Be a Detective

Before you dive into the passage, take a peek at the questions. This way, you know what clues to look for when you read. It helps you read with a purpose and spot important information faster!

How It Helps

Reading the questions first can save time and help you focus on what matters most during the test.

Examples

  • Reading a question that asks about the main idea before you read the passage.

  • Noticing that one question is about a tricky word, so you watch for it while reading.
