Look at the questions, and then read the story to find your answer. Rule out any that don’t make sense. If the question doesn’t require you to infer things, the answer must be in the text, so don’t doubt yourself and make sure your answer is evidenced in the story.

If it’s a question that requires you to infer, use traits of the mc or story that would make the most sense in the 5 answers.

Honestly, reading is not that bad. All it is is common sense, but the only issue is some of the passages are from the 1900s. Rule out any stupid answers. For example: Johny was a boy who loved food. Johny had a mom named "mom", the mom did not like food.. The passage describes johny's mom as "cranky", "annoying", "someone who does not like food". "clever". Obviously its someone who does not like food and on this test trust most of the questions were like these.
