<p>In that time.. I studied a lot more vocabulary, since on both my PSAT's, I got like 4-5 sentence completions wrong.. haha! One of those cases where it's like I know it's not the three choices with words I know.. but is it ASJDDOfaorueiojgaoprue or ajfaopufeayraougoaeuroahgoeur? :p</p>
<p>Sophomore SAT: 530
Now: 750</p>
<p>Well, i started with Grammatix, then I tuned into my own weaknesses. The best way to improve is learn from your mistakes, observe your weakness, practice it, perfect it. I answer the Q's as i read. </p>
<p>Oh and uh, thousands of vocab words :)</p>
<p>please inform me the newb...what's the blue book?</p>
<p>blue book is the official Collegeboard SAT study guide.</p>
<p>Everytime I do Kaplan it causes my IQ to drop 20 points o_o</p>
<p>^^^ lol :)</p>

<p>just a combination of being more focused and having an excellent english teacher junior year.</p>
<p>These CR improvement stories really gives hope to my pathetic 63 (PSAT in Sophmore year) right now....im going to study like a dog for this >:-D</p>
<p>i know someone who when from a 490 to 710</p>
<p>demg that's amazing how did you improve so much?</p>
<p>Can you guys tell us how you did it? That is sort of the purpose of the thread. I take the reading test like I am an illiterate retarded kid, but Im in AP english... weird. </p>
<p>I need help. Tips would be great!</p>
<p>If you are in AP English you might be the kind that interperts a lil too much.
here is a simple rule for most CR problems. If it didn't say that/or show that in the passage it's wrong. Really go back to the passage and kind of LOOK for the answer there.
Right now I rarely get any reading passage questions wrong. before I get like half of them wrong.
I was kinda of at 570 Sophomore PSAT ( noob at english, and the interpret problem) Now I am getting low 700s.</p>
<p>went from 630 to 700 on sat. The first time I just sat there and studied words, second time I focused on learning about context instead of memorizing everything</p>
<p>Its hard for me to not over interpret. I do it for everything. I guess I'll take the cr with a tabula rasa...</p>
<p>im such a geek</p>
<p>Yeah, demg if you could share your methods that would be nice.</p>
<p>i got a tutor, though i wouldnt recommend it
basically the only sound information i got was that you need to read the passages if you want to do well, also i missed two questions but still got an 800, so you dont have to be perfect to get a perfect score. My best advice, take a couple of hours a week to practice, although it sounds hackneyed, practice dos make perfect.</p>
