<p>I'm an impatient person. There, I said it. I do well on the Math and Writing portions of the SAT where everything is direct and requires instantaneous thought. However, I blunder on the Critical Reading portion. I am feasible on short passages and can easily comprehend and analyze them but when it comes to long ones, I just die on the inside. I get too stubborn to read it and when I bring myself about to reading it I get impatient and miss a lot of the questions. Please help me or provide some suggestions?</p>
<p>Truffliepuff, I am that type of person too and what helps me, although it is kind of silly, is pretending that I am REALLY interested in what I am reading. If you get yourself in that frame of mind you will start to believe it. It is kind of wierd but it works for me. THROW YOURSELF at the passage with ardor!</p>
<p>I’m impatient too, and that’s how I get screwed over. </p>

<p>Good protip, DancinggBear.</p>
<p>In your case I’d highly recommend that you get into the routine of reading alot
Subscribe to TIME or Newsweek and start reading it every morning
I did that for APEng and it helped mea lot…SAT CR is ALOT easier
Good luck</p>
<p>If your going for the mid-high 700s… you have to love the passage your reading- even when it’s about the struggles of an eskimo.</p>
<p>Your solution is to have more patience.</p>
<p>Practice reading and LOVE (seriously), LOVE the passage that you’re reading.</p>
<p>^^^ LOLOLOLOolL</p>
<p>Pretend that the passage you are going to read is the BEST article ever and that you will
it.</p>
<p>omg hahahah stop it with the funny guys you are too funny</p>
<p>I need to boost my CR and i agree about the whole math/writing being straightforward and easier. I guess I just need to trick myself into thinking the test is interesting. I’ve come across a few passages that made me smile because they related to something in my life, and it held my interest more, thus making me do better on the questions. I want to be able to read it through the authors perspective, but in many cases I just can’t think beyond the text itself. :(</p>
