<p>My S is in 8th grade, and he has trouble in CR on the SATs. He just did a practice test, and he got a 520. He really needs some help. Can anyone tell me how to study for the CR section?</p>
<p>Do you think that in time, he could get a perfect score on the CR section?</p>
<p>8th grade? he has three summers to prepare - that's plenty of time (well assuming he's taking it October of junior year, or two summers if he's taking it sophmore)</p>
<p>Why is he taking practice SAT's as an 8th grader? He has 3 1/2 years to worry about that stuff. A 520 is a great score for an 8th grader. I'm sure in time it will grow naturally.</p>
<p>It's because he received a 730 in math and a 690 in writing. I'm sure that in time, he will naturally get better in those areas, but I'm not sure about CR.</p>
<p>CR is fairly easy to improve naturally. Just reading a lot should help his score go up. If he has a 520 as an 8th grader he should be scoring really well in a couple years without much work.</p>
<p>Read, read, and read. That's the best way to improve the CR score. By the time he is a junior he will be fine. Don't worry.</p>
<p>Don't worry if he his only an 8th grader.</p>
