Choose academic texts from university textbooks, journals, and scholarly publications (online or in libraries). TOEFL\u00ae reading passages are usually this type. Make sure they are at least five or six paragraphs long.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Vary your topics<\/strong><br \/>\nDon\u2019t just read what interests you. Include subjects like science, social science, business, arts, geography, history, and economics.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Identify the purpose of the passage<\/strong><br \/>\nThis is usually found in the introductory paragraph. Common purposes include:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Provide explanations:<\/strong>\u00a0Mostly factual content.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Propose solutions:<\/strong>\u00a0Discussion of problems and possible answers.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Convince:<\/strong>\u00a0Persuasive arguments backed by evidence.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<li><strong>Build your vocabulary<\/strong><br \/>\nWhile reading different subjects, keep a glossary of unfamiliar words, organized by topic. Make flashcards with the word on one side and the definition + example on the other. Use new words in writing and speaking.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Take notes<\/strong><br \/>\nNote-taking is allowed during the test and essential for success. It\u2019s hard to remember every detail, so write down important facts while reading. This will help you find information quickly later.<br \/>\n<em>(See the blog&#8217;s note-taking post for more tips.)<\/em><\/li>\n<li><strong>Skim the text<\/strong><br \/>\nSkimming means reading quickly for the main idea. Practice identifying key points while skimming, and write them down.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Read again carefully<\/strong><br \/>\nAfter skimming, re-read the passage more carefully. Remember that time is limited\u2014be efficient and take notes.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Guess word meanings from context<\/strong><br \/>\nThis saves time and avoids interrupting your understanding of the passage.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Make general inferences<\/strong><br \/>\nPractice drawing conclusions based on implied information in the text.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Visualize the data<\/strong><br \/>\nUse tables or charts to organize information. You can also create categories to sort key ideas from the passage.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/api.americanlanguage.es\/uploads\/45ab1c06a179411b9ff137a08be538ec.png\" alt=\"Reading Strategy\" \/><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h3 id=\"-strategies-to-use-during-the-exam-\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Strategies_to_Use_During_the_Exam\"><\/span><strong>Strategies to Use During the Exam<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<ol>\n<li><strong>Relax \u2014 you don\u2019t need background knowledge<\/strong><br \/>\nThe texts are designed to be understandable for everyone.

Concentrate on reading and understanding what the questions ask for.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Guess if needed<\/strong><br \/>\nThere\u2019s no penalty for wrong answers. If you\u2019re out of time, guess all remaining questions. A random guess still gives you a 25% chance of getting it right.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Move on after the section ends<\/strong><br \/>\nDon\u2019t dwell on your performance.
