The Ultimate SAT Reading Strategy: "The Highway Method"

HERE IT IS! This is my landmark strategy for moving through each of the single passages on the SAT Reading Test!

This strategy I created works for the vast majority of my private tutoring students, because it cuts down on their time while making them infinitely more accurate!

[OPTIONAL] The Backup SAT Reading Strategy: "The Skeleton Method"

If you're one of the few students who doesn't see drastic improvement with "The Highway Method," try this one next. It's the second-most popular strategy among my SAT students.

My fail-proof strategy shows you how to get all these questions correct WITHOUT wasting your valuable time!
