<p>Ok, well I have practicing for the PSAT and this is how my subscores are looking right now:</p>
<p>CR: 65
M: 73
W: 73
Total: 211</p>
<p>I would really like to boost my CR slightly to around a 70. I got the 65 after memorizing Direct hits and PR's hit parade; however, I still miss an occasional medium level SC question because I do not understand what "type" of word should be inserted in the blank(s). In other words, I don't know what the sentence is asking. If that makes any sense, how should I improve on this? Also, on passage based questions, I have heard various bits of information. Is it true that ALL questions (even the inference questions) are DIRECTLY stated in the passage. If this is the case, how to I respond to the questions that say "how would the author of passage 1 respond to this statement in passage 2"? Lastly, my strategy on CR is to read a paragraph and then answer questions about tht paragraph and then repeat. This is strategy fairly effective? </p>
<p>THANKS,
Robbie</p>
