<p>Most of the time I get full/ perfect scores on CR, but that is when I don't do under time pressure. When I do that under time-pressure I miss some (3-4) of the last questions.
Also I got nervous on my last SAT (CR sec only). Please suggest how to complete under time pressure and avoid nervousness. I want an 800 CR.</p>
<p>Please don't suggest speed reading because that's not working for me.</p>
<p>bump!!!</p>
<p>When you get perfect score on CR in your practice, do you get more time than you should, or do you finish in time but just without the pressure?</p>
<p>If you’re having issues fitting it in the time limit:
(I just do this with practice tests when I really don’t feel like spending the whole morning doing it, and it doesn’t affect my score)</p>
<p>I go to the questions, see what lines/vocab words are mentioned, and go and underline those lines in the passage. (I don’t look at the question/think about it because doing that can mess up your thinking.) Then when I get to it when I’m reading I answer that question.
I cuts down time for me about 10 minutes. But I never have a problem finishing CR, math is my issue with regards to time.</p>
<p>but yeah, if when you’re doing your practice tests you’re not practicing it under timed conditions, that’s a bad idea except at the very beginning of your prepping.</p>
<p>@iforgeteasiliy - I cross the time limit by 5 minutes.</p>
<p>@lonelywayfarer - You are right. My only mistake was “not” practicing CRs under time limit. Now I will focus only on practicing under time limit.</p>
