<p>Alright, I figure that there were around 40 Critical Reading questions, not including the short reading passages and the sentence completions. These passages are based on the longer readings. I am compiling a list of all of the questions for all of these long passages. There were 67 CR questions. Of these, 48 were CR, and not SC. Of these 8 were short passages. So, there were 40 long CR passage related questions. </p>
<p>Basically, if you think of a long reading passage related question that you do not see on this list, just add it. Please do not repeat any, and do not include any sentence completions or short answer passages. Those have been discussed elsewhere. I’ll start you off with the first 31.
