<p>Hi guys,
I was practicing for about 2 months on various textbooks and stuff. I've read about 8 books but i'm still having major problems with my CR (around 650). Can u give any advices how to answer these 6 more questions and to break the 'majestic 700' :)). I feel like I am trying to get out of a 'magic circle' - i'm scoring the same results over and over again. </p>
<p>please help</p>
<p>Martin,</p>
<p>I think a huge misconception is that people think "reading more" will automatically boost up your score. NO, NO, No!</p>
<p>Reading smarter is better than reading harder.</p>
<p>Take fewer practice tests. For every hour you spend taking a test, spend two hours reviewing those answers and analyzing WHY you got them wrong. Grab a friend and discuss the answer choices. </p>
<p>I'm stuck in the same boat. But I improved from a 580-720 in a few months!! I'm stuck around the low to mid 700s boohooo</p>
<p>thanks twinkletoes23
I will put the focus on analyzing my mistakes. Btw, have u got any suggestions what exactly will be useful to read. Yesterday I bought a book called "Great American Speeches" by Gregory Suriano. It is just awesome...</p>
<p>any other suggestions ?</p>
<p>what english class are you in? the last few months of English Lang AP really whipped me into shape for CR...</p>
<p>well,
i'm from bulgaria, i'm not in a specific english class :)</p>
<p>um...
get the 8 real SAT book and 10 real sat books. just old SAT practice tests.</p>
<p>You need to understand the answer choices ETS throws out at you. Reading random classics won't necessarily help unless you are already a strong reader</p>
