Take 2 ½ to 3 minutes to read the above passage.
Based off of how far you are able to get, you will assess their typical reading speed.
This document helps to identify one’s natural reading pace and discusses implications
for pacing.

  • How many passages do I plan to read? 
Still using the same document, weigh the pros and cons of planning to read 3 vs. 4
of the 4 passages. Remember that on any section, you should always keep track of
time and guess on any questions that you did not have time to get to, as time nears
a close.

Take 3:00 to read; 5:30 to answer the questions.
