Critical Reading craze

<p>Okay, I bought the 10 real SATs, the Blue Book, Barrons Critical Reading, and McGraw Hill Critcal Reading; however, I always get one or two wrong on each section of the reading portion of the Critcal Reading section. What other prep book should I get and how can I improve? </p>

<p>I know I need to be reading more, but I doubt reading 10 books in two months will improve my score that much and I'm doing two Critcal Reading sections a day, so I'm reading quite a bit.</p>

<p>"I know I need to be reading more, but I doubt reading 10 books in two months will improve my score that much"</p>

<p>way to make sense :)
stick with what you "know."</p>

<p>That did make sense. S/he meant that it's best in retrospect to just read books more to raise your scores, but when pressed for time, it's more economical to do practice sections, because even spending a lot of time reading books would not amount to very many in a short time. haha</p>

<p>And I think that's plenty of books... why do you want more? Are you running out of sections, or what?</p>

<p>wow .. you've gone through quite a bit of practice .</p>

<p>i'm in the same pickle, lot's of practice, not a lot of improvement</p>

<p>Me too. I almost always get 4-7 questions wrong total and I can never seem eliminate those mistakes no matter how much I practice...</p>

<p>It's really a matter of luck (in terms of the sections you get on a given test).
It may be hard to come to grips with, but it's true.</p>

<p>Kafka89, I like your username :)</p>

<p>it could be you're already doing this, but if you go through every question of every section in something like the blue book after you do them and verbalize in your head or out loud clearly what is wrong about 4 of the 5 choices, it'll really help you to not ever make those kinds of mistakes, identify your errors, figure out why you made them</p>

<p>the questions arent that different really, practice shouldve helped a lot by now, maybe it already did, i dont know</p>

<p>if you need more tests, theres always the 10 real sat books, theres 12 different tests between the second and third editions</p>

<p>the analogy sections are different, but other than that they are exactly the smae as the new tests in respect to the CR sections.</p>

<p>and plus theres the online course that you vould try and use</p>

<p>good luck</p>
