I'm trying to prepare for the ACT reading section, but can't seem to read the passages fast enough. Do you have any effective speed reading tips or other advice about the ACT reading section?

Buy a book with tips on the ACT. It tells you everything you need to know.
-
Get the vocabulary down first, it's half of everything. Then speed read much of the material being sure to read the titles and the first sentence on each paragraph. This is the quick n' dirty way.
-
Don't sit and read where you are thinking about it as you read. I know that sounds silly but your brain picks up stuff even if you aren't totally understanding it. Then go to the questions, you'll at least have an idea of where to go back and look for your answer.

Pace your self, don't get frustrated. Find a comfortable spot and take deep breathes, do this three times to relax yourself then think of something that makes you happy, but don't get off track.Its all about what you know and how you can apply it.
