<p>Backfire, what did you do to improve your CR so much? On the January SAT, I got an 1860 total (560R, 620M, 680W). I took a practice test from the Blue book and got 1950 (620R, 610M, 730W). Do you go to the questions first or do you read the passage fiirst? What did you do to improve? I just did a practice 24 question one and got 6 wrong, which ain't so good.</p>
<p>umm when i took my first practice test, i never studied at all. I decided to study barrons vocab flash cards, which greatly increased my accuracy at Critical reading sentence completions, but my passage reading is still poor, but i just did take a practice test and got 680, it may be due to the fact i've been taking like 6 practice tests in the past 2 weeks, and i started to read dostoevsky again.</p>
<p>for the reading passages i read the passage then answer the questions. But if its 2 passages side by side. I read one passage answer the questions for it. THen read the 2nd answer the questions for it. Then do the comparison questions</p>

<p>It's as much familiarity and common sense than hardcore studying.</p>
