A Great Novel for the CR Section

Test Preparation SAT Preparation

<p>I'm currently reading Catch-22 by Joseph Heller, and I think it's perfect for those looking to boost their CR scores by reading actual books. </p>

<p>I never payed much attention to the vocabulary in the books I read, because I've always been an avid reader and I'm not easily swayed by the use of "big" words. However, this has changed when I started studying for the SAT.</p>

<p>For anyone seeking to improve their vocabulary skills, I highly suggest reading Catch-22. Never before have I seen such a dense amount of SAT vocabulary in a single book. Often, I'm able to pick out as many as 4-5 SAT words in a single paragraph. Though slow to start and very weird at points, the novel is a good read, and it's written in such a way that you find yourself learning the definitions of new words with or without looking them up.</p>

<p>Thanks for sharing that! ill be be sure to look into it.</p>

<p>Another book thats good for CR practice is Origins of species by charles darwin. I only read 1/2 of the book because it was so excruciatingly painful to read. If you can finish the book with a good understanding of what each chapter is about, your pretty much set.</p>
