<p>I saw many post here about "a magic click" with CR.
From my personal experience, when I was preparing for CR, i didn't know about this. But after a through analysis, i found the question patterns today getting 90% correct on passage based reading. Has it clicked? Well I don't know. </p>
<p>When you had this click, what happend?</p>
<p>Funnily enough, I was just thinking about this also. I’m really hoping to over-perform on this coming Saturday’s SAT and have been studying CR more than usual. All of a sudden, I’m missing significantly fewer. And so, as you are, I’m wondering has it clicked? Or am I just having a good run? I guess we’ll see. It’s definitely encouraging me to take even more practice sections.</p>
<p>Care to elaborate on this ominous “magic click” or link the thread?</p>
<p>It is not a very huge thing actually. </p>
<p>Many people in this forum have a common experience with the critical reading sections ( those who had to practice to get a decent score in CR). After taking 10+ practice tests, suddenly the critical reading ( passages) become so easy and the correct answer jump out.</p>
<p>The only problem is though is to know how to take these tests. At most time, other preparation companies like Barron, Princeton, kaplan fail to write the questions in a CB way. They are just gay at this CR thing. So, when someone takes CR tests from collegeboard materials, one has a higher chance of getting this click . What a test taker needs to do is, understand the question types and answering technique. That is, after each practice test, he or she needs to go through all the answer explanations. All the answers. These answers fall under some specific groups. </p>
<p>01. The main idea
02. Vocabulary in context ( in the line _____ the word "<strong><em>" most closely means)
03. Making a conclusion ( not sure how to say this) (( In the line</em></strong>__ the author suggests) (It can be inferred from _______ that) ( The author implies that_<strong><em>)).
04. Except questions ( I , II, III ).
05. Which statement of the choices will make the statement stronger/ weaker if </em></strong>_______
06. Tone/ attitude questions.
07. specific details ( these questions fall under above category).</p>
<p>Whenever this “clickers” took the CB tests, they went to answer explanations to find out what they did wrong and right . after a certain level of practice ( 10-15 CB tests) the answers became obvious. When this click happens, someone’s score improves significantly. (e.g. scoring in 600-620 then suddenly CR score reaches 700+) .</p>
<p>This is all about click. Just one has to stick with critical reading materials from CB to get this click. :D</p>
<p>Will this happen in Writing?</p>
<p>“They are just gay at this CR thing.” Lmao made me laugh at my screen. Thanks for the elaboration though.</p>
<p>Funny thing is… this happened for me with Writing, while I was stuck in a range of 30 points for CR in CB tests.</p>
