• What kind of “stagnating” is that? (blu3mo) I have taken the test 3-4 times, but my Reading score is around 350 and Writing score is around 300. I thought I understood various techniques from reading books like Black Book, but my scores haven’t improved. Actually, my Writing score is lower, and I wasn’t aware of that. (Keicho) What kind of “Writing” is that? (blu3mo) Reading long passages and answering questions based on evidence. (Keicho) What kind of “reading” is that? (blu3mo)I need to read as quickly as possible on the first attempt, but I haven't been able to increase my reading speed while maintaining minimal understanding. If I don't understand something, I get anxious and end up reading it properly. (Keicho) Is there anything else about this “reading”? (blu3mo)After reading it once, it's enough to have a general understanding of the flow and the position of things. I realized this when I was doing Khan Academy's practice problems. Even if I don't fully understand, my understanding deepens as I solve the problems. (Keicho)

• What is this “reading” like? (blu3mo) This way of reading is often referred to as skimming, but it’s different from actual skimming. It’s more like a QR code reader, where it’s okay as long as you can read the part that is necessary for your purpose, even if you haven’t comprehended the whole thing.
