Desperate help for critical reading

<p>ALrite so i consistently get a 650-670 on math and a 680-740 on writing in the blue book, but my reading score is always between 550-600. Besides Vocab, can u guys please give me advice on how to attack these passages... for example how and what i should underline, what should i look for, i just want to explore different ways?</p>

<p>Thank You</p>

<p>I don’t feel alone anymore. I am in the same exact situation as you! LOL! My writing and math scores are pretty decent, but my reading score is stuck between a 550-590. T-T. Can anyone please help us!!?!!</p>

<p>Practice for god’s sake! </p>

<p>or read. It’s the only way for CR.</p>

<p>Really? How am I exactly supposed to “analyze” the newspaper article, etc?</p>

<p>help me !!!</p>

<p>I’m coming from the same boat, I’m consistently above 650 and usually 700 in Math and Writing but i’m 600-650. Mind you i was 550 previously, what I tend to do is predict the answer, where possible (iE: Which of the following sounds most accurate =can’t). Predicting the answer is both good and bad. The good is that if you look at the answers first and you’re not good at CR to begin with, then you’ll fall into the trap answers that sound good then you’ll be between two choices. If you predict and the closely synonmously worded answer is there, pick it. The bad is you could predict the wrong answer, and that answer is there. All in all when you predict you should be confident and be predicting after you re-read/anylaze the lines coherent to the question, then predict, then answer. This doesn’t mean don’t read any of the answer choices once you find the answer. Don’t be hasty with the CR questions. Sometimes you’ll think you’re on a roll and mess up here and there during the high difficulty questions.</p>
