<p>Hi,
Love your article.
I have a question about Critical Reading. When you did the SAT, did you put short notes(eg. about the main idea of the paragraph or passage) as you went along in addition to the annotation that you did?
Thanks for taking the time to answer my question.</p>
<p>Hi Noitaraprep,
I love your strategy. I tried it and it really seems to work. However, the problem is, I am still getting just a few questions wrong. So my question is, when you did the critical reading practice and you got a few questions wrong, did you just keep doing more practice and hope the errors you make go away or is there a specific trouble-shooting strategy that you had(this post can go out to anyone who has/uses Noitaraprep’s strategy)?
Thanks</p>
<p>hey noitraperp can u please illustrate the annotation point giving more examples?i did not understand how to form that anecdote related to the question!it will be quite helpful if u post an answer as quick as possible…help from other members will also be appreciated!</p>
<p>P.S-I am giving my SAT test on october 5 2013…so please give me a quick reply</p>
<p>What do you bubble exactly in the CR section?</p>
<p>obviously the answers!but the thing is i am unable to form the annotations…i want help regarding how to form them.YES!there is one example in the tips n tricks guide,but i did not quite understand it.so,i guess some more examples or a quick tip on forming annotations will do good.n please post a quich reply because my sat is nearing and this month is very very crucial since i am givingsat on october 5,2013</p>
<p>What can I do about the line questions? I can get every question (besides 1-3 vocab) right, but I miss so many line questions (8+).</p>
<p>I also recommend some daily tough readings to buff up your brain muscles. Just working in an extra tough article or two in your general reading and making sure you understand various keywords/phrases like “streamline their analysis” can work wonders.</p>
<p>these are perfect tips ever seen!Great</p>
<p>Wow, thanks tons.</p>
<p>Thanks for this awesome guide 
Can you recommend books or tips for 630 reading ?</p>
<p>Word Smart I for the vocabulary and the college board ‘Official SAT study guide’ for practice. That is all I used to raise my score from 520 on my first diagnostic to 800 on my SAT.</p>
<p>Thank you for the amazing guide!</p>
<p>This is the best guide ever , I am overly zealous zealous now so that I need to rape some critical reading questions !!
Thank you veeeeery much !!</p>
<p>Amazing guide. It was posted almost 4 years ago but it is still relevant today. Thank you.</p>
<p>thanks for the advice and extra motivation! #getrichordietrying</p>
<p>Thanks for writing this, but I can’t find a ehow one. Bumping this so that other people can see this.</p>
<p>This is great! I just have one question. Can I raise my score from 540 to 750 in one month? I’m taking the SAT on June 7th. </p>
<p>Actually your strategy of tackling long passages might be useful for some people and bad for others… As you said it’s time consuming… After I tried it I maintained time but my score dropped down so I just got back to my way of reading the passage as a whole and then tackling the questions one by one, especially that they are in chronological order… So you don’t really need to mark the lines.
By the way I didn’t try it for a long period of time so do you think it would take time to get useful?</p>
<p>^Right, as I mentioned, it will more time-consuming, but that’s something you can improve with practice. The art of pausing and answering some questions on occasion is something you need to feel out over a few tests. On the other hand, if you taking an approach to the passages that is not working for you, practicing that approach more and more won’t necessarily lead to gains at all.</p>

<p>It’s definitely possible if you really focus. Make sure you don’t burn yourself out. Plan out your month and what you will do each day. Don’t ever load up any day too fully. You can definitely do it! </p>
