<p>I've read a lot of threads on this board that recommend taking practice tests and analyzing the answers for each problem so that you can start to recognize patterns and similar questions. I don't understand how to apply this strategy to critical reading, because it seems like all the questions rely heavily on the specific passages. So I guess my question is: how can I effectively analyze my errors in order to gain some insight that will help me when answering questions based on other passages?</p>
<p>Good question. Any SAT prep experts out there ?</p>
<p>analyze and know why you picked your answer (if it is wrong) and why you did not pick the right answer. Develope a full supporting theory for the right answer and a reason your picked answer was wrong. There is support in the passage do NOT draw drastic conclusions, pick the best fitting answer. It can sometimes be hard to develope the decisive technique for eliminating wrong answers so take 12-15 reading passages without time making sure that you have picked the best supporting answer. Lastly try always to first show how (during the test) when going down the answer choices a question is wrong rather than how it might be right. Due to common mind games it is always better to come up with a reason an answer choice is wrong rather than right, proccess of elimination and when down to the last answer choice only then do you try to prove it wrong and if it can't be ruled out only then do you confirm it is right by its veracity to the passage and question.</p>
