The study's objectives were to determine whether or not there was any significant achievement on students' reading comprehension between students taught by PSRA Strategy, (2) whether or not there was any significant achievement on students' reading comprehension taught by QAR Strategy, and (3) whether or not there was any significant difference in students' reading comprehension achievement between students taught by PSRA Strategy and QA Strategy. The study's population consisted of all tenth grade students at SMAN 4 Kota Jambi during the academic year 2021/2022. The samples were collected by two classes, each with 32 students.

The findings revealed that both the PSRA strategy and the QAR strategy had a significant impact on students' reading achievement in each class. Based on the data, it was discovered that the students' mean post-test score in the experimental group who were taught using the PSRA Strategy was 84.63 and the students' mean post-test score in the control group who were taught using the QAR Strategy was 79.70. However, based on the independent sample t-test analysis, the t-obtained (3.216) was found to be greater than the t-table (1.671), indicating that the null Hypothesis (Ho) was rejected and the alternative Hypothesis (Ha) was accepted. It indicates that there was a significant difference in students' reading comprehension achievement between those taught using the PSRA Strategy and those taught using the QAR Strategy. Furthermore, the students' score achievement when using the PSRA strategy is greater than the students' score achievement when using the QAR strategy.
