RoadReadyThe core idea
Trying a question first can reveal what you need to look for when you read.
This guide focuses on the distinction behind the task, so that a remembered answer does not become a substitute for understanding.
What to look for
Identify the part you cannot explain.
Describe the relevant information in ordinary language. If a term is unfamiliar, resolve its meaning before using it as part of your explanation.
