<p>Cr scores- 680, 720, 770, 720, 700, 670, 660. Has anyone else had a steady or drastic decrease in cr scores or can they explain this. This is really weird because my math scores went from low 700s to 780-800 and my writing scores are consistently 720-770 (usually around 770 though) I haven't tried a new technique or anything but my cr scores are decreasing instead of increasing.</p>
<p>BTW, these ^ are practice test scores</p>
<p>Are you getting more and more questions wrong on the passage based questions or the sentence completion questions?</p>
<p>Passage-based</p>
<p>Consistent reading and focus might have something to do with it. By using noitaprep’s method, I usually only get a couple of questions wrong on the passage based questions per test. I’ve also been reading a lot more recently, which might help.</p>
<p>Perhaps you’re overdoing it? What is the time period for all those tests taken? 6 months? 3 months?</p>
<p>You’re watching too much Spongebob, eating too much sugar, or you just need to calm down, focus, and get into your “zone.”</p>
<p>
How long have you practiced his method?</p>
<p>time period: 2-3 months, and i have been practicing noitaprep’s method for approximatley 2 months</p>
<p>I experienced the same thing. My curve was a lot like yours: 650, 680, 700, 720, 770, 700, 740, 650, 650. But I got 740 again during a recent practice test. I guess after you hit your peak, 770, you kind of get this mentality that CR isn’t as hard as you thought it was and your focus slips. One thing living in China has taught me is that I shouldn’t get too cocky after just one good grade. Since your period was over 2-3 months and you’ve taken 7 practice tests, I advise you to take at least 2 a week. After every practice test, you indicate new problems and come up with new skills and techniques to solve them. Therefore, it’s important to integrate your techniques into your actually problem-solving before you forget them.</p>
<p>@Krazy: I read his method, took a test, and the results were as I’ve described. Of course, it’s gotten better over time, so perhaps a month or two.</p>
<p>take a break, stop doin practice tests for a little while and then when you start again slap yourself and focus and remember what you are trying to do.</p>
<p>^This answered my question too. I had a serious regression in CR, and stretching my crammed schedule into one that “burns” the practice tests more slowly could help. I will try it out. Thanks!</p>
