Open the tools menu once at the start of a section so highlighter, eliminator, and line reader are where you expect them. Format choice is in digital or paper.
Know the names before test day
Highlighter marks the passage, in the highlighter. Eliminator crosses off choices, in the answer eliminator.
Do not submit while those tools could still save a question, in don't submit early.
The bottom line
Find the tools in practice. Test day is too late to hunt a menu.
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.
