It involves 56 EFL university students majoring in English by providing questionnaire of Survey of Reading Strategies (SORS) in order to know the use of reading strategies; and Reading Comprehension Test (RCT) to measure their reading achievement or reading ability. The reading strategies were classified into Global, Problem Solving, and Supporting strategies. Meanwhile, the RCT was 35 multiple choice test items. The findings of the study reveal that (1) the EFL students are active strategies users; they prefer problem-solving strategies more than global and supporting strategies; (2) there is a significant correlation between the overall reading strategy use and the students reading achievement; (3) the problem-solving strategies are the predictive factors of the students' reading achievement. In conclusion, the more the students apply the problem-solving strategies in reading activities, the better their ability to understanding the texts.
