Is this CR strategy helpful?

<p>I was wondering if the CR strategy for the passages of reading a passage and answering the questions related to that passage or the lines in that passage and continuing it this way for each paragraph and questions is a good, useful strategy?</p>

<p>Have any of you guys used this on the real test, and if so, what did you get on the CR section by using this strategy?</p>

<p>thanks.</p>

<p>you again >< lol. yeah lol its a good strategy, that way you can answer all the "text" specific (explicit) questions first, then you gain understanding of the main idea of the passage, allowing you to answer inferences or main idea questions.</p>

<p>ha..yeah me again? haha</p>

<p>ok thanks....</p>

<p>IdoNATLoveSAT,i don't get what u mean!could you express it in simpler sentences?btw, i am from malaysia. the fact i do not understand your meaning, does it also augur badly for my CR?</p>

<p>Umm...</p>

<p>I don't know. I thought I said it pretty clearly but maybe not. haha</p>

<p>The strategy is:</p>

<p>for critical reading, when dealing with the long passages, should you read a paragraph and answer the questions related to that paragraph, instead of reading the whole passage and then answering the questions?</p>

<p>Let me know, guys.</p>

<p>^ it really depends on what you prefer. thats not a bad strategy but i prefer reading the whole passage at once so i dont lose my train of thought.</p>

<p>I also prefer to read the whole thing. Honestly, there is no single right method to doing the CR. Find and do the method that works best for you, thats what I did to get an 800.</p>

<p>I tried a bunch of strategies and I liked reading a paragraph, answering all the questions related to the paragraph, and continuing until I finish the entire passage, because that way, I will have read the entire thing, and I would have answered all the questions instead of having to look at the questions and then spend time looking for the answer. But it depends on your style.</p>

<p>Try the read-one-paragraph-at-a-time method and see if you improve any. If it's easier for you and you are starting to improve, than use that method.</p>
