Reading isn’t about English. It’s about control.
You don’t have time to understand everything. You need a system for finding answers fast and rejecting tempting wrong options.
Core method
Use Map → Hunt → Prove. Map the passage (paragraph purpose), hunt using strong keywords (names, dates, nouns), then prove answers with meaning (not just matching words).
Common traps
“Half-true” options, extreme language (always/never), wrong cause/effect, and answers that match words but change meaning.
