How my reading pace changed under real test pressure and what I learned

During practice tests, I always read at a steady, moderate pace, aiming to understand every detail. However, on the actual exam day, the pressure made me speed up unintentionally, which led to missing some key points in the reading passages. This experience taught me that adapting my pace to focus on main ideas rather than every word was more effective. It was a shift from trying to be thorough to being strategic, which improved my comprehension and time management. Have you noticed changes in your reading speed during the real test compared to practice, and how did you handle it?
