<p>There’s an undue capitalization in your approach to tackle the reading section tackler.</p>
<p>God bless you for sharing. I am stuck at 690 and i just can’t cross the 700s. I’ve taken a lot of tests but my score stays pretty much the same.
What do you recommend that i do other than just practicing? Should i read scientific journals/editorials to familiarize myself with the language? I only have a month left so i dont want to waste anytime doing the unnecessary.</p>
<p>This is a great thread. Do you have one for the writing section as well?</p>
<p>Noitaraperp,I have a question.</p>
<p>If you answer the questions after reading one paragraph not after reading the whole passage,how can you answer the line-reference questions that have “In line 10~12~~primarily serves to?” </p>
<p>For these questions, you need to read the passages in the end…</p>
<p>So,I read the first sentence of each paragraph and the last sentence of the last paragraph,then, I use your method. However, I run out of time…</p>
<p>WHat should I do?? Please reply~~ Thanks !!</p>
<p>Nice tips!</p>
<p>so you went up 300 points by focusing and praticing?</p>
<p>Thanks for the tip! This helped me a lot 
I hope to raise my critical reading from 600s to 700s or higher with this.</p>
<p>One question,</p>
<p>I am currently using Critical Reading Workbook from Princeton Review. Are PR practice questions, in general, harder than the actual ones from Collegeboard? If so, in what ways are they more difficult?</p>
<p>I’ve never heard of the book you mentioned. Yet as far as I’ve noticed, the Critical Reading section of PR tests (from “Princeton 11 tests” and “Cracking the SAT”) is neither more difficult nor easier than that of actual tests. So you can predict your score easily after going through some of the tests.</p>
<p>Oops I mean Kaplan xP</p>
<p>oh and we tackle the double passages the same way right?</p>
<p>What is BB? sorry if that’s a stupid question… and you’re saying you used PR and Barron’s practice tests? do they sell books with solely practice tests in them? Also, when, at what age (around, sorry if this might be personal) did you take the SAT?</p>
<p>Just used it, and I missed 5 out of 24. I feel much more confident with a lot of my answers using this method, I highly recommend. I am very confident that a little more practice with this method, and being able to use it more efficiently time wise will greatly increase my score. Wonderful method, I applaud you!</p>

<p>A lot of these general questions can be answered by just doing a search. The function is right below the page selection.</p>
<p>Thanks, Noitara. I haven’t had much time to study for the test next week, but hopefully I’ll be able to use the method at least 3-4 times before test day however impossible it seems to be.</p>
<p>Nota, how did u prepare for the writing?</p>
<p>Tips works… raised my practice test scores by 100 points… from 650~ to 750 consistently … thanks man</p>
<p>fantastic, regarding the process as art, i can not agree it any more
MOre important, try to change the angles to tackle the problems! essences of cracking SAT
there is no doubt the authour should access CR800</p>
<p>This thread is win.</p>
<p>The SAT reading section should die. The logic and evidence behind the answer to the questions are flimsy at best, you could have much reasoning as to why this is why this is the right answer, and it’s not. Collegeboard has its own logic when it comes to the questions. And the passages are similar (if not more complex) than those coming out of complicated articles of magazines directed towards university students, and then Collegeboard screws you even more by substituting in high-end vocabulary words that a majority of high school students have never seen in their lifetime. </p>
<p>What I’m getting at is, you don’t want to waste time reading articles like Scientific Journal, Atlantic, Wall Street Journal, etc. Not only will it (most likely) not interest you, it will probably not help raise your reading score. That’s because SAT passages are very short condensations of information from the actual article, and not only that, they require you to micro-analyze every little bit of irrelevant information. </p>
<p>If you read through any strategy guide, the logical technique is to learn how the questions and answers are phrased. Collegeboard is notorious for having the same exact pattern of questions (not passages, however) every test, and it’s not likely to change dramatically. </p>
<p>Also, learn to analyze using cause-and-effect reasoning. It helped me. There is a reason for everything. I mean it. If you have evidence and can create a cause-and-effect chain as to why you picked this answer and why it answers the question perfectly, go with it. This won’t work with the hard questions though because Collegeboard is evil like that.</p>
