<p>How do you guys get 700-800 on the CR section. Please offer help on how to break the 700 barrier. Do in read more carefully or what? and the most passages that i find hard are the ones about politics. How do i approach these kinds of passages and others alike.</p>
<p>Ha, there are a few guides out there, make use of them. Xiggi’s/Silverturtle’s etc.
I’m already a senior who took the October SAT and I don’t see myself making any higher than a 650 on it. I’m just going to get used to the fact that I’ll never break a 700 on reading. I just wasn’t conditioned for it. I didn’t read many books as a kid.</p>
<p>Read carefully but swiftly and practice a lot. Here are some tips for the critical reasoning section - [Critical</a> Reading | SAT Exam](<a href=“SAT Exam”>SAT Exam)</p>
<p>Just make sure you read a lot in your free time. Books, magazines, newspapers, they all help you become a better reader. That’s all I did to prepare and I got an 800.</p>
<p>“Critical reading study guide” helped me out some. It’s got some interesting strategies that cut down on how long I spent on passages. It’s not the best ive seen for vocab, but pretty solid for passage based questions</p>
<p>I’ve scored 800 twice on CR. If you really want the score, read Crime & Punishment or a similarily long book before the next test. This helps with reading comphrehension and vocabularly. If you are capable of 650+, then the easiest way to break the 700 barrier would be to take ten or more practice tests.</p>
