<p>I never think of the definitions, so I suppose our styles are different. I go by feeling when it comes to English because that's the way they taught me to do it when I was younger. I don't know if that's a good or bad thing but I'm beginning to do the same thing for the Spanish language, so oh well. After this, I really don't care anymore.</p>
<p>Tell me what do you did to imrpove the tone questions.</p>
<p>I got a 700 on my first practice test. prep helped me a lot.</p>
<p>this is probably the longest nonconventioanl hanging around thread on cc ...cool thread....wealth of information ..</p>
<p>What do you mean?</p>
<p>i got a 630 on the march CR.... didn't prepare much at all for the june test and got a 740... i was quite suprised :-D</p>
<p>Coolkash$, are you an avid reader or anything?</p>
<p>Also, how many did you get wrong in March and June?</p>
<p>Thanks</p>
<p>I mean that the among the longest 25 thread on CC, there are ones like INdian , ,Chineeese and other stuf........... But none that started off so unconventional .ending up as a gr8 thread.... with so many ppl involved....... BOL for ur Oct sat.me striving for CR and writing too.......</p>
<p>Krabble,my best advice would be for you to get off the internet and start studying. This helped me a lot. It's no use to read other people's strategies. You need to figure out what your technique is. You've been offered a myriad of strategies, so pick one and try that out. If that doesn't work, go to the next one.</p>
<p>I went from 58 PSAT 10th grade to 750 (1.5 years later).</p>
<p>Take an AP literature or AP composition class. THOSE HELPED ME A LOT. For ap lit, we do practice exercises on how to figure out the tone of the passage, etc.</p>
<p>Another way to study: get a friend and read a passage together. Then DISCUSS the passage. Circle, underline, mark up the passage until you've exhausted it. Then answer the questions. The tone should be much more clear now. </p>
<p>Anyway, good luck studying.</p>

<p>I too had a smiliar story and went from a PSAT Reading score of 55 to 740
and he is right, those AP lit classes HELP A LOT. I think it was primarily because I was in one of those classes that I got such a high score on the CR. Those classes really force you to pick apart the story like no other class. Also that class was my first weighted English Lit class, and it goes to show you how much those classes DO help just by challenging you</p>
