<p>If I am scoring around the 600s right now, should I continue to do more practice passages or read periodicals such as the New Yorker? Thanks.</p>
<p>Yes.
CR is the hardest section on the SAT.
Read from now on until you take the SAT.
There should be some substantial improvement.</p>
<p>Read. Vocab. Try DIFFERENT strategies. Check over, find, analyze, and nitpick eveyr single question you got wrong, and go back to the passage and find evidence for the qeustions that you got right. </p>
<p>Repeat.</p>
<p>Then just have patience.</p>
<p>I think you should both read AND do practice sections.</p>
<p>Do both indeed. Listening to the news is also pretty effective (though not as effective as reading) because you are open to lots of contrasting opinions and debates which can help on the paired passages.</p>
