1. Many students are concerned that they read too slowly. Yet slow reading may not be the problem. Faster reading is often not the solution. Students need to read better. At Solo, we can teach you how to read more effectively.

2. For inefficient or slow readers, we can improve your reading by familiarizing you with the AP Composition language, including common verbs (delineate, depict, hamper) and adjectives (wistful, jocular) that appear.

3. Student errors come more from improper understanding of the question than from improper understanding of the reading. At Solo, we can show you how to handle the test questions better. Test takers need to focus on certain key words and prefixes, such as all, not, un-, in-.

4. Many students cannot tell the difference between the main idea and supporting ideas. This is a key question area on the SAT reading test. At Solo, we help you practice to read for main and supporting ideas.
