improving critical reading?

<p>i took the sat 1 in oct and scored a 2230,
math 800
writing 780
cr 650</p>

<p>now, i have until next october to retake and the only hing i really need to work on is my cr. i didnt get back my q and a yet but im pretty sure vocab is he problem. whats the best way to increase my vocab from now? which word list is the most reliable? i really want to get my cr score to at least 700</p>

<p>I had like the exact same problem last year lol. I just did a lot of practice CR sections. I listed all of the words I did not know and looked up their definitions. I kind of practiced with flashcards and listened to some vocab podcasts. What helped me the most was actually using the new vocab words in my writing and conversations; I also thought about the word for a while after I learned its definition. :D</p>
