<p>Out of curiosity, how fast do you 750+ CR scorers finish in, say a 24 question section?</p>
<p>Personally my best subject is math which I consistantly get 800s on and finish with about half the time left. Though I did get a 770 in reading with about a minute to go after I answered all the questions. In a 24 question section I find that about 15 of them are obvious, another 7 require you to look at them for about 30 seconds to get the answer but you don’t necessarily have to skip them and then 2 that are left. I usually have about 5 minutes left for the last two which usually have 2 or 3 “good” answers and end up spending about 2 minutes on them leaving me about a minute to make sure I bubbled in my answers correctly.</p>
<p>I got an 800 on CR twice, and each time I finished, I had less than a minute left.</p>
<p>Had 350 in CR on my first test. That’s a very bad, how do i improve on it? someone answer me</p>
<p>I usually finished 10 minutes before time is up on the longer CR sections.</p>
<p>Practice, practice, practice! Vocabulary plays a big part in CR, so you should expand your knowledge by memorizing vocab lists or reading high-level material. As a basis, you should know about 3,000-5,000 words. Also there are certain strategies you apply to this section, like the answer is usually does not include extreme words such as hate, all, everyone, things like that, that are easy to prove wrong because the college board doesn’t want to get sued.</p>
<p>I scored 750 on CR and it depends on the section honestly. I fly through some sections with 5-7 minutes left and other sections I finish with 30 seconds left. </p>
<p>Also, 3000-5000 words? That’s waayyyy too excessive. I read both the Direct Hits volumes which is less than 500 words and I only missed one sentence completion (which was due to lack of sentence comprehension, not lack of vocabulary). You could be doing better, more productive things then memorizing 5000 thousand words for what, maybe 10 extra points that won’t even make a difference in admissions?</p>
<p>I usually finish 5 minutes early, so I go back and review the questions I’m slightly unsure about.
(I used to run out of time constantly though, back when I kept scoring in the 500s range lol. If you skim the questions, underline the indicated parts, and then read the passage, you can probably finish all of the questions in around 2 minutes… and sentence completion is quick and easy, especially if you study vocab.)</p>
