<p>“Mark the line”
“Slow down and absorb it”</p>
<p>Starting today</p>
<p>Seriously, putting parentheses around referenced lines is ingenious. I literally go through CR so easily now. I just did all 3 CR sections of a practice SAT test in the BB and got a 700. Its also 11PM and I wasnt even focusing as diligently as I would during an actual test.</p>
<p>The only questions I missed were sentence completions because a few of the words tripped me up.</p>
<p>I honestly accredit this method for my success. Just practice it a few times and you’ll get the hang of it.</p>
<p>I know that practicing is the best, so i bought the blue book. I’m trying to save it for last, because it’s the most accurate test out there. Can anybody recommend any books that are good practice for the SAT?</p>
<p>Bless your soul for this perfect post i’m just i can’t even… Thanks.</p>
<p>Very impressive method for me who get stuck in the CR. I will try it later. Thanks a lot.</p>
<p>Norita, sorry if this has been answered, but after the practice tests, what was your score improvement like? Do you have an idea of what kind of score you started out with?</p>
<p>I learned so many vocabulary words from this post LOL… Btw thanks for the advice helped a lot!</p>
<p>Hey guys I have a question that when I am doing long passage I circle all the reference lines and then start to read. As I am reading I solve the problem at the same time. Is this right way to use this method? I feel like I’m doing it wrong. </p>
<p>Thank you</p>
<p>Well it is said in the first post, specifically step 6, that ‘vast majority of specific questions can be answered after reading from the beginning to the point of reference’, so I think what you’re doing is right. I also do so.</p>
<p>do you have any advice for the math section. everyone says its easy but im in the 500 range even though i have really high math grades in school. i also go to a competitive school so i have no idea why the math section is so bad for me.</p>
<p>You mentioned earlier that you took 25 practice tests. Where were they from? I have the SAT Study Guide with DVD book. Is buying the BB 2 worth it even if i have that? thanks.</p>
<p>About to start putting your strategies to work! Wish me luck!! Thanks for all the great advice!! Much appreciated:)</p>
<p>Good luck!</p>
<p>Noita, i have a question on how you got into Harvard. What did you have other than the glorious 2400 on the sat? For example, ECs, APs, etc.</p>
<p>Also, what are you studying at Harvard at this point?</p>
<p>I graduated this year. In high school, I did student government and various clubs, along with a few summer internships. I got 800s on all my SAT subject tests (and 5s on all my APs, though that’s ultimately not too challenging considering they are curved quite reasonably).</p>
<p>What would you say is the second most important thing to perfect CR (other than the absolutely most important: practice.)</p>
<p>noitaraperp what do u do after the practicing? I’ve been practicing far more than 25 test but it seems like I haven’t spent enough time to consider WHY I can’t improve. I’m still struggling in about 550 but want to score at least 650 in Oct.</p>
<p>Noitaraperp How do you do so well in school? Like How do you study, how do you take notes. Like how did you get 5’s on all your AP’s. Like do you review everyday your nates or re-copy them down? And how do you do summer interships, and like which ones did you do? I need studying tips. I have all A’s but my grades fluctuate. LIke what do you recommend if your teacher sucks at teaching? How do you learn txtbook material? Highlighitng or take notes or what?</p>
<p>Noitaraperp (or anyone else who has experience with this), do you think it’s necessary that we jot down annotations when we mark the line references? I’ve tried your exact method with a few CR practice sections and found that it works very well (THANK YOU!). However, I sometimes found myself confused in my own words and getting off track/wasting time/getting confused with the annotations. I tried a passage without annotating and it worked out pretty well, however I’m not sure if it’s smarter to tough it out and acclimate to your strategy exactly.</p>
<p>Also, I’m finding that with sentence completions, I’m missing 0-2 every time, always the last two questions when I do. And I always manage to eliminate all but two answers choices, and then I make the wrong guess. Every single time.</p>
<p>They’re just random words that I have never seen before. My vocab. isn’t perfect but it’s clearly good enough to get my through all the level 1-4.5 questions. I have Larry Kreiger’s book, PR’s lists, Kaplan flashcards, podcasts etc… It’s just these random words which I doubt are even in any of these vocab. books that get me. Do you have an strategies for when you reach a point like this, or any other tips for perfecting your vocab? Like, would you recommend I learn some roots or get a certain book or use a certain strategy?</p>
