Best way to increase CR...?

<p>...besides reading.</p>

<p>I read the New York Times, Time and novels often; I don't even think I could fit more of it into my schedule. But my problem with Critical reading is that some of the answers I fill out, I am entirely positive it is the correct answer, until, of course I see the correct answer and hate myself.</p>

<p>Practice seems to be the best solution (on paper), but it hasn't really increased my score as much as I would have liked it to. </p>

<p>I'm taking a Kaplan course associated with my high school right now, they haven't really covered CR yet. Hopefully, I can get some beneficial insights.</p>

<p>Does anyone have any other recommendations for me? I'd really appreciate any responses. Thank you.</p>

<p>Memorize Vocab. If you get all the sentence completions right and miss like 8 passage questions, you still have a shot at a 700. Type in Sparknotes 1000 and start memorizing. Seems boring? Well you need to because only long term reading will increase your vocab. I've already done hundreds, and my plan is get at least 1500 words for the June exam. Vocab=necessary, don't wait too long and don't underestimate it. You also see hard vocab in the passages.</p>

<p>^ not all hard vocab comes up. Use the Testmasters list.</p>

<p>alright. thank you. That seemed to be what I was leaning towards also.</p>
