<p>I have a tendency of getting 4-7 wrong (usually 5-6) per section for the CR (which is terrible, that means around 12-21 wrong) --> This is around a 540-630 only</p>
<p>How do i improve on the specifics?</p>
<p>I have a tendency of getting 1-3 wrong for SC per section but have studied a good amount of vocab, i usually have a tendency of leaving 2 and choosing the wrong one. How do i improve on this? Like what strategies should i employ to really help with SC?</p>
<p>For Improving Paragraphs i have a tendency of getting at least 1 wrong. I usually mark up the passage with the places i need to look for the answer before reading them and then start to see if i can answer the question. I usually get tricked with questions where it tells me to infer, choose the tone (for words that trick me up), or for compare</p>
<p>For the long passages i get a tendency of having 1-3 wrong also. I also mark up and then read the passages and start answering it. I usually get tricked up in the "agree with", "suggest", or some hard "meaning" questions...</p>
<p>How do i improve with 2 days left before the test (i am thinking of retaking anyways if i don't do well, i just want to somehow guarantee around a 640-660 so i can get that 2100+)</p>
<p>i'm in a similar situation as your's too! hopefully someone will bail us out.</p>
<p>from what i've read, a good way to improve is read avidly(which unfortunately, is too late if you're taking the june sat) and to use graphic aid to help memorize vocabulary.</p>
<p>I haven't been missing more than one or two total in my practice tests, and something that's really helped me is remembering that all of the answers can be found in the text. When the question refers you to certain lines, don't just read those lines-- look directly before and after the text.
I agree that the tone ones can be tricky, but there are always a few that you can rule out as flat-out wrong. If you can get it down to two, you have a good shot. Keep in mind the context of the piece; you're usually given a brief introduction before the passage.
Best of luck!</p>
<p>i've heard the same thing: all of the answers are in the passage...you're not supposed to come up with your own interpretations...i find that confusing though because they are asking us to infer...what do u do for the infer questions?</p>
<p>i usually do read between the lines and a few in between but sometimes it gives you a very raw idea of the answer which makes me look at the answers to eliminate the ones that have nothing to do with that "raw answer" i came up with</p>
<p>I usually am left with 2 decent/good choices and one "pushing it" choice and i do not always choose the "best" choice</p>
<p>But one thing i NEED to work on is to not infer. I have a tendency of sometimes choosing the "pushing it" choice because it just makes the whole passage seem more interesting and purposeful</p>
