<human>: So, reddit, here is the deal. I'm a highschool student about to take the ACT. In other tests, I score great.I have a 4.0 with many AP credits under my belt. My state's standardized test I got in the top 95^th percentile in everything, my highest being 99^th in math. I do good on those test because I have damn time to read the passage and the question. 

Here is the trouble though, my state allows for MUCH more time to do each section than the ACT does. When I take the ACT practice tests and stuff, I run out of time because I'm so slow at reading. I can do the reading itself just fine, as in I am able to comprehend higher level books and stuff, but more times than often, I need to re read a paragraph or even a sentence multiple times for the idea to sink in.   I just do not have time to do that on this test. 

This is relevant in my english classes too, because when we do "read alouds" (Fucking fuck those) I just cannot do it. I can read it, but the way I read it doesn't get the point across that it is supposed to because *I* dont understand the sentence that first time around.

On some other practice standardize tests I have taken, every section is the same trend. Almost flawless for about the first 3/4 of the test, but near the end, I get nearly every question wrong because I am forced to guess because I didnt have time to read anything. 

Basically, what I'm asking, is does anyone on Reddit know any tips or tricks to help me prepare  for this test? Does anyone know a way that I can understand something the first time I read it, and not have to go back and dissect the damn line over and over again?

Condense the text into a few key points
<bot>: I SUCK at comprehending sentences and paragraphs my first go around. Can someone help me to understand things my first time reading something?
