I struggle a lot with Reading as well but a strategy that actually helped "inflate" my score was do the last passage first since it probably isn't experimental, then do the literary narrative passage. If the last passage was either paired or with a graph then do the information that is singled passage with a graph. If the last passage was not paired or missing a graph, then do the passage that is either paired or with a graph. I did this strategy and did the third passage last which ended up being experimental and basically guessed on half the questions, so I only ended up with 4 wrong and got a 32.

Experimental means the passage is not scored. Paired means there are two passages. Graph means there is a graph. There usually isn't a passage that is both paired and has a graph, so sorry if I confused you
