<p>focus on QUESTIONS and TOPIC
that's all u need to do
one of my friends (who's going to college this sept.)
raised his score from 550 in last June to 800 in last October
this rly works</p>
<p>I wouldn't necessarily say that reading is the hardest section get an 800 on. It's easier to find out the 4 bogus answers that ETS comes up with than finding the one answer in math. In math, your brain can make a careless mistake and you don't even realize what's happening. Also, you can come across a hard question that you have no clue whatsoever how to do. Guessing is harder because you can't reason so well with choices like 3, 4, 5, 6, and 7. With CR, you can cross out answer choices more frequently than math questions.</p>
<p>770.</p>
<p>The only thing I did was practice.</p>
<p>If you practice enough, you can recognize every question and almost immediately know the answer just by how it's worded.</p>
<p>Everybody says think like the test writers and imagine yourself in another person, but I don't see how you guys can do that. I mean how do you think like another person. How do you know what they're thinking and how do you know if you're actually thinking the right thoughts. Maybe because I don't understand this concept is why I'm getting 500's on reading :(.</p>
<p>Kevin, the most important person to think like in CR is the writer of whichever passage you are reading. Transmission of ideas from one mind to another - ie thinking, if ever so briefly, like the person whose writing you are taking in - is the entire point of reading comprehension. If you are incapable of intuiting what and how another person thinks, that is why you are getting 500s on reading, and I'm not sure how this could be helped.</p>
