CR strategy

Test Preparation SAT Preparation

Hello, I am conflicted on developing a solid, sound strategy for approaching questions.

So far, I have come across these main ones:

  1. Read the passage/skim, go back to answer the questions in more detail when done.
  2. Answer the questions while you are doing the passage
  3. Mark line references and look at the questions beforehand.

Also, as a side note, I am trying to develop the habit of looking for transitions because a lot of questions include it some way, but here’s the main thing:
Method 1- It has worked so far, but many people don’t seem to mention it with their strategies, so maybe this is not the way to go?
Method 2- I recently came across a passage in the blue book where this strategy did not serve me very well, as the passage seemed tough in a sense, but maybe the passage was hard in general and using method 1 wouldn’t work that well either, although I did not try it and I did feel I was able to grasp the passage better after.
Method 3- I have not used this method, well maybe once- but I feel as it confuses me.

Thanks, I really need some help.

For me, I just read the passage making sure I understood EVERY little bit, every transition, tone words, etc. Unless it specifically refers to a certain line, I never go back to read it again. However, I only got a 740 on CR so maybe I’m not the best person to give advice lol
