<p>How about practicing on analysing articles, passages from books, etc? That's what worked the best for me (got an 800 on CR). The more you practice on picking out whats important, and on being able to interpret texts, the easier it will be on the SAT. The most important thing is to always make sure you can back up whatever you conclude (whether a hard fact or an inference) with evidence from the text.</p>

<p>thanks... how about the Sentence completion questions</p>

<p>That's basically flat memorizing words - roots are also good to know as well though</p>

<p>However, do not just remember the definition of the word, remember the word of the definition.</p>

<p>On the SATs, after reading the sentence, a definition almost instantaneously comes into your mind, but you must choose from a list of words. Therefore your brain has a harder time "reversing" the connection. For instance:</p>

<p>diffident - "lacking self-esteem"</p>

<p>flip</p>

<p>"lacking self-esteem" - diffident, taciturn, self-effacing</p>

<p>This way, words are much easier to call up and recognize during the test</p>

<p>Heh. Just <em>read</em> the passage and answer what's being asked. For SCs you can memorize vocab, but I find that it's a waste of time; you have no idea which words will be on the test.</p>
