 * SAT Reading is "evidence-based" = the answer is in the text
 ** = also that the WRONG answers are also in or not in the text
-* "perspective shift"
+* eliminate for errors:
-** = identifying the perspective of character, person, or idea as opposed or in contrast to another
+** don't select for correct answer
-*** the more difficult SAT Reading questions regard "perspective shift"
+** unless you see the evidence directly in the text, then select the correct answer
+* all SAT sections are timed
+** keep time awareness ''per passage''
+** practice for accuracy first (regardless of time), then build efficiency (accuracy + speed)
+=== perspective shift ===
+* = ability to identify multiple perspectives within a text
+* = a primary skill set the SAT Reading measures
+* = identifying the perspective of character, person, or idea as opposed or in contrast to another
+** the more difficult SAT Reading questions regard "perspective shift"
+* comparison passages measure perspective shift explicitly (passage 1 v passage 2)
+** perspective shift is measured in all types of passages:
+*** what character A thinks about character B
+*** author use of counter-arguments or quotations from other sources
+*** what experiment 2 tells us about experiment 1
+*** how the text relates to a table or chart
+*** how table 1 compares to table 2
