<p>Dont practise so much.First learn some tips and them practise them ;]</p>
<p>^ Nah, you should practice and learn your own tips.</p>
<p>Thanx but can u guys specify a few tips on how to approach and how to answer the reading passages??</p>
<p>The best advice I believe that will help you on CR is that there is only one answer. Most of the times the answer is embedded in the passage so make sure to find textual evidence to justify your answer. Also find textual evidence to eliminate other answers.</p>
<p>^^^As someone on CC said, you can eliminate 3 choices and are left with just the one right answer and one heavily decorated wrong answer!</p>
<p>i ordered both books last week and i will receive them on Friday,(15 days before I take the December SAT)
my vocab is not too bright
will I have ample time to get all the amount of words stuck in my head?</p>
<p>skillzmr-If you haven’t already done it, the SAT practice test on the College Board website Free SAT Practice Test | Online SAT Practice is a real SAT. You can take the test and will receive full explanations of the answers for all 3 sections which will be very helpful to you.</p>
<p>The College Board also has full explanations for the PSAT practice booklet 2008 PSAT/NMSQT Practice Test Explanations. You need to get a copy of the 2008 Official Student Guide to the PSAT/NMSQT from your college counseling office. Even though it is a PSAT it will be very helpful in studying for the SAT especially having the full explanations.</p>
<p>@ skillzmr. Yes, it doesn’t take long to memorize them. I memorized mine in around 12 days. Review them 1 day before the test too.</p>
<p>dang I need help on CR too, need some tips on what to look for, how to study for CR, and etc.</p>
