Reading Carefully

Why Careful Reading Matters

Reading every word carefully helps you spot clues and avoid mistakes. Don’t rush—take your time to understand what the question is asking.

Tips for Careful Reading

  • Underline important words.
  • Reread tricky sentences.
  • Pay attention to words like "not" or "except," as they can change the meaning.

Examples

  • Noticing the word 'except' in a question before choosing your answer.

  • Rereading a sentence to make sure you understand the context before picking an answer.
