Order of Difficulty
Reading comprehension questions are organized by what part of the passage they test, not by difficulty. The early questions on each passage test the early portions of the passage; the later ones test the end of it. This organizational pattern provides no clue for determining question difficulty within each passage. In an analogy group, you can determine the difficulty of a question based on its location. However, in reading comprehension groups, you can make those decisions only after you’ve looked at the questions. Since the goal is to answer as many questions as possible, you may want to skip those that immediately strike you as difficult. Of course, how many questions you want to skip depends on your target score. Even so, you should be aware of how the unique organizational scheme for reading comprehension affects your strategy for answering these questions.
