Critical Reading problems :(

<p>Hi!</p>

<p>I'm two weeks away from taking my first SAT, and I'm doing pretty well on the math and writing sections. However my CR scores can be as little as 200 points below my Math/Writing scores. After analysis I've realized it's largely the sentence completions that get my score so low.</p>

<p>I was wondering how people get such high scores in CR. This probably sounds stupid, but is vocabulary on SC a much bigger factor than I'm treating it as? </p>

<p>Also, do SAT practice tests written by prep companies (such as TPR, Kaplan etc.) make their CR, or for that matter all sections, somewhat harder than the real thing?</p>

<p>Thanks in advance! :)</p>
