Speed Reading and the ACT

I never understood this whole "I am preparing for my ACT/SAT."

Of course, I didn't bother taking the goddamned test until I was well out of high school. I had to go BACK and take the thing to get into college about 5 years ago.

I scored well. I forget the exact scores, but I remember being impressed with myself, considering I had been out of school for a while.

Why can't you just approach these passages like you would any OTHER reading? If you put yourself under a lot of pressure to SPEED THROUGH, you're probably going to do a lot worse. Of course, this is only MY theory, and its how I try to approach most things.

These passages aren't like huge chapters of "how to install a stereo." It's pretty simple, mundane passages. Do you people REALLY feel the need to STUDY for that? =/

Jam it back in, in the dark.
