     Top Tip: Don’t compare the choices with each other—rather, compare
    the choices against the statements in the passage. That will help you
    to avoid adding your own assumptions or picking the choice that
    “sounds best.”
     If you're having trouble, use process of elimination/deductions—start
    with what you know to be evidence, and eliminate the choices with
    those claims.
     Reading a passage and trying to summarize it takes time. A faster
    Practice approach is to look for clues in the language, predict what the
    passage is about to say, and then skim it to confirm that your
    prediction was correct. Even if your prediction was incorrect, you’ll
    catch that when skimming and you can make note of it.
     Identify the conclusion and support
     Look for gaps
     Look for common patterns
     Test the choices by turning them into a question
