CR help!

<p>Have you actually taken the TOEFL and achieved that score? Anyways, vocab’s gonna be tricky for a student like you because SAT vocab deals with more advanced words than the basics and you’re unlikely to have integrated ALL of the more basic English words into your vocabulary. By integrated, I mean that you can use them fluently and properly. By reading many of your posts and previous essays, it’s apparent that you’ve yet to fully grasp English grammar and mechanics. This flaw will turn out to be much more hurtful to your SAT score than a kink in your vocab or reading ability. Your essay will likely not get a good score, and without mastery over the language, writing MC questions are going to be painful losses for you. You can get 600+ on CR with much diligence, but you have to remember to build your foundation. You can only pile so much on a shaky foundation before it gives way and topples. Every Chinese student who’s gotten 1900+ has a solid grasp of English, meaning he/she doesn’t make many mindless errors in usage and grammar. Granted that they can implement “tricks” to get a better score, the ones who rely solely on strategy and disregard actual knowledge are just kidding themselves. Sure you can penetrate a thick wall with a sharp nail and hammer (techniques), but you can’t knock it down unless you have a sledgehammer or something (foundation). It’s going to be very hard for you to raise your English to that level, even if your TOEFL score is perfect, so don’t work only on DH/RR; learn English too.</p>
