<p>on the blue book practice tests, i tend to score around 650 on the critical reading sections, with the vast majority of errors on the passage questions. For an example, out of 12 incorrect on the practice, 11 of them came from long reading.</p>
<p>Any advice on the quickest way to improve? im a junior trying to prepare for the psat test, which is less than 20 days from now.</p>
<p>i have same problems as you. Just read lots of books and you willbecome naturally good</p>
<p>The problem is I only have 12 days before the REAL SAT and I can't "naturally become good". I need quick and dirty methods to get better at answering crit. read. questions correctly. Please post tips. Hook a brother up! Please?............</p>
<p>There are no DIRTY tricks. However, you must find something in each passage that will keep you on track and will allow you to understand it better. W/E you do, DON'T read the passage if you think its going to be boring. Find something (I love numbers. Whenever numbers are in a passage for some reason I do better on it. And also anything with science etc. i love).
You love and just dont get sidetracked by other things.</p>
<p>Do you guys underline when you read to keep your focus or does that just slow things down?</p>
<p>Gyros321 is correct, because almost all the SAT CR Passages are so soporific!!!
Why can't CollegeBoard/ETS at least use passages are effervescent?</p>
<p>Lol shadow, do you normally talk like that or were u practicing ur vocab like i would if i said that? I just learned soporifc from barrons 3500 word list.</p>
<p>well your stilla junior.... you still got a year to retake it or so... dont worry about hte first test too much</p>
<p>^ eh... I say just score well and get it over with...</p>
