If a Science question does not name a figure, table, or experiment, the answer is usually in the introduction or in a caption, not in a random graph. Named figures still come first. That habit is in go to the named figure.
No locator, then prose
Definitions, units, what was held constant, and why a method was used live in the opening paragraph. That is when you stop skipping the intro, in skipping the intro first.
Factual questions that still sit on a sentence are in factual questions. Data-representation passages are still mostly locators, in data representation.
The bottom line
Named visual: go there. No name: read the intro.
Start practicing
Start with a free diagnostic, then drill your weak spots with 15-question quizzes and track how you're doing across Reading, English, and Math. Compare plans whenever you're ready to go further.
