The basics of tackling your reading exam...

How do you get a good grade in the your Standard Grade English reading exam? Well a good start would be to READ!

One of the best methods of revising for your exam is to read good literature (so chuck the Stephen King in the bin - a good storyteller does not a good writer make!). It is also vitally important to read the questions in the exam paper - and when I say read I mean READ, not skim or glance at, or peruse, or "get the gist of" but READ fully, completely, 100%.




Do not fear reading - if you read your brain will not explode (trust me). In fact, if you read enough, then maybe someday you will know as many random pieces of information as me...
