<p>how do you guys approach the test?</p>

<p>I'm taking it in June and took two kaplan practice tests, with scores of 750 on both.</p>

<p>I just read the passage first, then answered the questions.</p>

<p>Do you guys read the questions first, then the passage? (the kaplan book says to do it that way, but I've never approached reading comprehension like that).</p>

<p>has anyone ever used princeton review?</p>

<p>I tried to get Kaplans but that didn’t work out. I’m gonna check at the library but I doubt they have it.</p>

<p>Is PR still ok? it seeems like it’s easier than the actual test…I got a 750 the first time. I’m gonna try Barrons and see if there’s a drastic difference. </p>

<p>Should I take the one in the CB book now…or like a couple of days before the test?</p>

<p>Thanks for the response.</p>

<p>Bumping this, would like a few more opinions if possible.</p>

<p>i got a 780. i read the passage first.</p>

<p>I really don’t think there are any strategies to these lit tests. I’m gonna go in with my 720, retake it, and hope for the best.</p>

8

<p>Yeah, I pretty much believe that too. Interested to see how many people actually read the questions before the passage though.</p>

<p>I always always read the passage first. I have 800 on Lit and 800 and 790 on CR. </p>

<p>Reading the questions first, imho, primes you to get tricked: If you approach the passage not knowing what’s being asked, you will absorb more information. Reading the questions first sets you to look for certain things in a passage, which could be to exclusion of other important information.</p>

<p>I got an 800 CR and 770 Lit and I ALWAYS read the passages first, it gets me in the zone =D</p>
