Skim means read the keywords of the reading passage. Answer the questions to which you know the answers. Scan the reading passage for answers to questions to which you don ’ t know the answers.

How to Skim Reading When you read, you don’t need to read and understand every word. In fact, to answer questions in the TOEIC reading sections, you often do not have to understand all the words. You just have to find the answers. You don’t have to understand the answer.

Skim reading will help you read quickly so that you have more time to finish the test or to go back and check your answers. When you skim, you only read the key words in the sentence. You skip over the small words which are not necessary in understanding the content of the lesson.

The key words are usually: Nouns (the subject of the sentence and direct objects especially) Main Verbs Adverbs (especially adverbs of frequency or time usually, now, etc.) Numbers Wh.
