While reading to understand in order to pass in an exam, keep calm. The most positive reading habit is keep calm while looking at one page of a book for ten or more minutes. If you practice this, you are definitely a good reader.
2. Pointing of word
If you are reading to understand, then stop pointing word one by one. Pointing at the word while reading is meant for children who are undergoing reading training.
Being a college student or a man of yourself, pointing at the word while reading is a practice of bad reading habit, hence, change your reading habit henceforth. If you are having vision impairment, get lens to view clearer and don’t read in a dark environment.
3. Loss of attention and individual issues
If you don’t have attention to fully concentrate on reading, then don’t read in such time and pay attention to such other issues individually. Although, the way how each person reads the book differs. Some people like reading in noisy environment while other don’t.
Bad reading habits are dependent on loss of attention and personal issue. If sound is what that removes your attention from reading, then move to a quite venue to have your reading. For me, I love reading in a medium-noisy environment, hence, if there is no noise, I put on music for making read longer.

In real life, you will not easily understand anything that you are reading if you are vocalizing at the same time. Now, have you agreed that vocalization is one of the top bad reading habit from this brief explanation above, let’s hear you via the comment section.
5. Unfavorable venue
Reading in an unfavorable venue is another habit of habits. If outside is your prefer reading venue, then go outside with your reading tools such as table, chair, books, pens, etc. Reading venue differs from person to person.

You yourself know the favorable venue for your reading habit, hence, choose the one that fits you.

If you are reading and meet a new word which you don’t understand its meaning and how to pronounce, it is not recommended to go to your dictionary and check the meaning of it first but just simply underline it and go back to check it after reading.
10. Reading everything at the same pace
To be a good reader and understand everything you have read in order to pass in exam or any interview, don’t read everything at the same time/pace. Create a time for reading Mathematics, English, Chemistry, in fact, every subject you offer must have their scheduled reading time.
