I Am Suffering From Suck-At-Critical-Reading... TT_TT

<p>Here's the facts:
800 on Math 99% of the time
750 Most of the time on Writing (although, to be honest, I think I can get 800 easy with a little more brushing-up on grammar)
650 on Writing
Grand total of 2200 average.
I need help on Critical Reading abviously, but I'm STUCK. I have the Blue SAT Collegeboard book, and worked the problems, but I could not get out of the ditch. I usually get 99% of the vocabularies right (woo, go parents for bribing me to memorize!), but I suck at the passages.
Any advice?</p>

<p>same boat, but I usually score 770 in writing.</p>

<p>Go new members… wOOt
When are you taking the SAT?</p>

<p>750 Most of the time on Writing (although, to be honest, I think I can get 800 easy with a little more brushing-up on grammar)
650 on Writing</p>

<p>Originally I was scoring at around 650 and I eventually brought it up to a 740. I credit this to focusing more on the actual test and taking many practice tests which allowed to be more familiar with how the answers are usually phrased. If you can score in the 600’s then you understand the passages for the most part but are missing some of the subtleties and deeper understanding parts of it, in my opinion. Also, study direct-hits in order to make sure that the sentence completions are not killing your score.</p>

<p>Vocabs are fine, I just have issues on the Passage-Based Reading… Any tips that worked for you guys?</p>

<p>650 on *Reading</p>

<p>I simply am getting better by being more “in the zone” and analytical. Instead of assuming you know the answer, refer back to the passage and support it. Also, a lot of times when the test talks about a certain line, if you read further, you will find your answer.</p>
