TOEFL® reading section

[Samyon21]

Hi, im new to this forum and i would like to ask if you can give me any advice on how to score big in reading section because the first time that i took the exam i had no idea what the exam would look like. Time was a great concern for me so,i would like to hear from some of you the technique's you did on that section.

What I do is read carefully the entire passage and then answer the questions. I do not take any notes but many people do, so it's up to you. However, another technique is to read the questions first, then read the passage accordingly.

I actually did read the questions first and it was ok but when the questions turned to finding the summary of the passage were you choose four or three anwers out of the eight or six questions, thats were i had the hard time. And while you were doing the read the passage first technique, did you have the right amount of time to answer the question? Time was really a big factor for me.

I cannot judge for other people, but I know for myself that I have enough time to carefully read the passages and then answer the questions. And I still have time remaining. However, that is just me, and, of course, it really depends on the type of text. Just try to read as much as possible as to get used to reading at a rapid rate.
