<\/span>CAST Reading for Comprehension Outline<\/h2>\n

\"exam<\/a><\/p>\n

The test is made up of four separate reading passages. After you read each passage, you will be given a series of multiple-choice questions related to that passage.<\/p>\n

<\/span>How to Prepare<\/h2>\n

This will be tricky to study for since this test is less about remembering concepts and more about developing solid reading and comprehension skills. To make it even more challenging, you have a very short time frame in which to read all four passages and answer all 32 questions.<\/p>\n

Given these constraints, your best bet is to focus your study time on practicing strategies that will help you read quickly without sacrificing your ability to actually absorb and understand what you are reading.<\/p>\n\n
