Riya practiced with timed sections. When a question asked, “Which paragraph mentions X?” she learned to scan the headings and first sentences to find X instead of re-reading the whole passage. For True/False/Not Given, she trained herself to circle qualifying words and then search the exact sentence, not the entire essay. Gradually, her linear method became adaptive: she still read passages systematically but inserted quick, targeted scans and paragraph jumps when the question required it.
