Reading ?! ...................ugh?

Question

When it comes to reading, I suck. I mean I read slow, like if I have to read a book for school. My PRPH (pages read per hour) is about 10. Meaning I only get like 10 pages done every hour on a standard book, like Harry Potter. If I read more quickly, I can get like 20 pages done an hour, by I tend to close focus. So, if I were reading for understanding it would take me nearly 10 hours for 100 pages !!! I do not think that is normal. Anyone mind sharing their PRPH. Also, this is what hurts me on the SAT reading section, and I only end up with about 400 points on it. IS THERE anyway to get better ? I'm good at math because it's a learning concept and I can remember HOW to do things. But when I have to read a book, I get worried I might miss an important detail. Don't get me wrong, I can read fine when it doesn't really matter. Like if I'm reading a magazine for restaurant sign, but my problem comes when I have to read a book that I am going to have a test or quiz on. Help on SAT/reading.

If I read faster (on SAT), I might miss important details. And if I read slow, I may run out of time. I usually get only 15 out of 24 question done on a SAT reading section. And oh yeah, I HAVE SAT 1 THIS WEEK. PLEASE someone help, quickly. Do you know any good websites, books, advices that help on f-o-c-u-s reading.

Answer 1

Well if i were you, read a little faster, and dont worry about every single detail. on most of the questions it refers to the like so you can always go back. also, i am assuming you are planning on taking the sats again , right? well, next time it is hard, but look into it and there are was you can get extened time for the sat. hope this helps!
GOOD LUCK ON SATURDAY!!
ps. just relax and youll be fine :)

Answer 2

i take about 1 1/2 hours to read five pages. i am just worried that i might not be normal. and it is only five pages in a day. i will find myself lack of concentration and feeling very tired if i try to read more.
