The SAT and ACT Reading tests are about more than reading comprehension. Students need to understand not only what is stated in a passage, but also what is implied, how parts of the text function and work together, and why the author decided to develop the passage as it is.
Reading actively and effectively is a skill that requires practice. On other exams, you may be able to skip to the questions and then skim the reading passage for easy answers, but the SAT and ACT are challenging tests, so that method will not work. These Reading questions require a deep level of insight, and students can only solve these questions quickly and confidently if they possess the necessary academic skills and also understand how to take the test.
