Study Strategies

## Stay Focused and Attentive\n\nActive reading means paying close attention and thinking about what the question is really asking. Underline keywords, reread sentences, and watch for clue words like 'however' or 'although.'\n\n- Take a deep breath before each question to reset your focus.\n- Underline or circle important words in the question.\n- Double-check your answers if you have time.\n\nBeing an active reader helps you avoid silly mistakes and catch important details.

Examples

  • Noticing the word 'except' and realizing the question wants the opposite answer.
  • Highlighting transition words to understand the flow of the sentence.
