Premed coursework means Ved has spent years speed-reading dense journal articles across biology, chemistry, and physics — exactly the kind of cross-disciplinary reading stamina that pays off on the ACT Reading section's natural science and social science passages. He teaches students to identify how...

Most students lose points on ACT Reading not because they can't comprehend the passages but because they spend too long re-reading.

Most students lose time on ACT Reading not because they can't comprehend the passages, but because they second-guess themselves between two answer choices that both look right.

Reading comprehension on the ACT is less about deep literary analysis and more about efficient information retrieval — finding where the answer lives in the passage and confirming it quickly. Marissa's 35 ACT composite came partly from a skimming-and-targeting method she now teaches, showing student...

Speed is the real enemy on ACT Reading — four passages in 35 minutes leaves almost no room for re-reading.
