<p>my score has been improving but it is still super low. </p>
<p>my current score on the cr is 550 </p>
<p>i have until october to improve someone please give me a daily routine or what i can do everyday to improve.
i really want 2000. but im at 1800</p>
<p>i suggest you read more, specifically newspaper articles. it will help u get in the flow of the passage structures. i was a a 600 for cr. i did this for about a week now, took a practice test and got a 650. still constinuing, have about 8 wks for the SAT. good luck</p>
<p>So i should just keep practicing how to read long passages?</p>
<p>dont practice how to read, just read like how you usually do, it comes naturally</p>
<p>oh i see. doing sections of critical reading could help. thanks</p>
<p>You have limited time to start reading different articles. Just read a few novels and Practice a lot of Blue Book practice tests. Also review the Barron’s 3500 vocab. I read it in about a week and I was frivolous about it. So if you have more momentum and if you don’t take it withh levity. You’ll probably finish it in less than that. I was in the same score range as you but now I’m currently in the 650s trying to move to at least a 700. Goodluck!</p>
<p>dang! that is amazing. I am horrible at studying vocabulary. Do you have any tips on studying vocabulary fast?</p>
<p>They are various ways, You can use flashcards. I formed a card game of two or more people in which you share the cards evenly and you continue dropping cards in the middle so long as you know them, if you don’t know the card you pick cards in the middle and continue. The person who drops all his cards wins.
OR You can just do it how I do get the Barron’s list and jot down some words that are challenging. And go through them everyday, the words will become second nature to you. However, read the Barron’s High Prospect and High Frequency. A lot of words come out from there. BTW: Its not quite amazing. A friend of mine finished it in 3 days but she’s weird so she doesn’t count!
OR
Try Sparknotes. They have stories in which you just read the passages and the vocabulary words are underlined. It’s quite colloquial, so don’t think its some SAT Passage. Try this link

Deal with these first so in the real exam you can just quickly finish the sentence completion and focus on the bulk which is the passages. Don’t forget to practice BB.</p>
<p>Easiest way for 30-50 point bonus is to study SAT like crazy.</p>
<p>For passages, the best thing to do is to read quickly, but not skimming. Make sure you get the gist of what the passages is saying. When you reach the questions, this is what you do. If the question says “on line (#)…, it says (blah blah)”, go to that sentence in the passage and the answer to that question will be in the section “from that sentence to the end of the paragraph” anywhere in there. </p>
<p>If there are two answers that seem like they are right, think this:
<p>alright, thanks for the advice.
For the sentence completion, what is the best strategy approaching it?</p>
<p>Well from experience, you simply need to study vocab. But by this, I don’t literally mean understand the word completely. Just get like whatever hundred or thousand SAT words you want to study and then generally learn them but MOST IMPORTANTLY:
be able to tell if a word is meaning something generally positive or negative. Then use words in the sentence such as “likewise” or “however” to determine whether the second word will be the opposite or the same and pick from there. You will usually know at least 3 of the words in the answer choices (by know I mean recognize whether they’re positive or negative)</p>
<p>Thank you! I will do that! I have so much vocabulary I need to study. :((</p>
<p>Don’t worry about the vocab too much. As long as you’re a smart student and have been exposed to some higher level vocab over the course of your life, you should be fine. Most English classes use those vocabulary books (the red ones) that have 20 words per unit. I’ve noticed a lot of the words come from there. Also, don’t get too worked up over vocab, it’s only a TINY fraction of the reading section. I guessed on all the vocab and still got 700 luckily</p>
<p>Thank you soo much. Your words really encourage me. I guess i should practice doing the critical reading.</p>
<p>Yup. And don’t forget the other ones too, writing and math are just as important, but I’m sure you got those down</p>
<p>I got math down. Do you have any suggestions for writing?</p>
