<p>Read it. I know some people tell you not to focus too heavily on the details, but make you sure you do somewhat, so at the end you’re not like *** did I just read. Cause that’s happened to me so many times. Im not great at CR by any means, but I went from 7-8 wrong per section (25 question ones) down to 2-3 questions wrong per section.</p>
