A quick first pass can reveal structure and relevance.
Skimming is a purposeful preview. Look at the title, headings, introduction, conclusion and other signals of structure to work out what a text covers. You are trying to locate its main direction and the parts relevant to your question.
That first pass helps you decide where to slow down. It is not a substitute for reading the evidence or qualifications when accuracy matters. A useful skim ends with a better plan for reading, rather than a claim that you now know everything the text says.
Before reading a long report about transport, you locate the section on evening services and note which table supports its conclusion.
Headings and summaries may omit qualifications. Check the full passage before relying on a claim.
