@JuicyMango I feel you
@arcana8gleam practicing a section a day, reading a couple of articles, revising vocab.
Praying that intense studying this weekend and coming week will raise me up from the 21s to 2250+. Any advice for late in the game prep?
Ugh… every time I do a practice test I get 5-6 wrong on CR. Then I look at the answers, and somehow the answer is always the other one that I was debating. Ugh, and then I feel dumb bc the answer was so clear. WHYYYY do you do this to me CR??? WHY
@schwinn71…what really helped me was staying awake the night before (such that the previous day you fell asleep and woke up at like 5pm on the night before the test). That is a surefire way to boost performance (assuming the test is an early morning one).
Any tips on improving CR? I read both apoc’s guide and noritaprep’s (sorry if i butchered the name), but no significant progress. 
please help!!!
huge snowstorm predicted for east coast (or at least maryland) this friday and saturday. What happens if the test centers close? Do i get to retake it or will we all just get our money back?
^^Never thought that weather conditions would cause test centers to close…I’m in new york so I have this concern too. Does anyone know what would happen?
it has happened in the past but they have make up days. however, with this being the last test, i feel like collegeboard is too lazy to make another test
How well do you guys do on the practices compared to the real test? On the practices I usually get 1 or 2 wrong, should I expect to get more wrong on the actual SAT?
I HONESTLY don’t even know what to do about this test anymore I know how to do these problems I just always make a dumb mistake or something or don’t know one vocab word and second guess myself. Writing MC is so frustrating for me I always second guess myself there and miss the idioms or mark things that are no ERROR as an error. ghuugh
edit: took in december and got a 2120 (CR 680 math 710 writing 730 essay 10 MC70)
its that writing MC that kills me and math I made dumb mistakes… not sure what happened in CR lol
Im freaking out because Ive done like all the practice tests and I feel like CR score is getting WORSE! ahhh one more week!!! idk what to do pls help!
@smileydinosaur Ok so my new strategy is working so far (increased my CR on practice tests from 710 to a 760). Here’s what I do (the short version):
For short passages, I read them through and then answer the questions. I usually get those ones right.
For long passages, I try to skim read them well (trying to absorb the story) in less than 3 minutes. Then I go to the questions. For the ones I can answer easily, I do. For ones that I have no idea, I skip. Then, after I look through all of the questions for that passage, I go back to the ones I skip. Then I really, really dig deep into that question. I look at the lines of the passage that the question is referencing and I try to understand what those lines really mean, and how they fit into the answers. This is the important part. You need to really, really understand what those lines mean, and bluntly. Don’t make inferences, don’t put your own opinion in. Just reword what those lines say. Then look at the answers and then eliminate the ones that don’t fit, and if you’re down to two answers, reason your way out of why one is wrong and the other is correct, using the passage lines to guide you. Now I just get around 1 wrong per section of reading. Hopefully this works for you and anybody else! It’s better if you continue using this strategy to get better at it, but after I used it once, I got to a 730 so…
(P.S. - On test day, you should remember your strategy and not blank out and completely forget what you are doing like I did in December. I remember freaking out and then I ended up getting 6 wrong.)
CR was the worst for me. It took me 2 years to get it up to a mid 700s score. I seriously envy whoever has a natural talent in this area, because for SAT beginners, it is hit or miss.
Ugh CR is one of the hardest sections to improve a lot in so little time. I have developed a new strategy to adjust to the 25 minutes but for those who are going to adopt new strategies now or two days before the test, make sure you are use to it before the big day. Otherwise you could mess up amidst the pressure.
Funny thing is that the sat got postponed last year during the January administration…but I agree with @jruesmith7 and I wouldnt trust anything until friday night haha
@HappinessXOX I couldn’t even go up by 30 points in CR in a few weeks (and my score is not a high or even mid 700 by the way)
@BethanyD Lol I only grew my CR by 50 points from my last SAT take, and before I took that test I studied as best as I could in the four months I had to study but alas…only 50 points. Oh gosh I wish I could get to 700s but I expect just a modest mid-600s this January test.
lmao my friend reads a ton and scored a 750 first try without studying. His Math and Writing scores are mid 500s though.
Can your friend and I switch places xD 
that’s pretty imprressive!!
The last SAT i took was the five minute mess-up one. It had to have a negative effect on the score right? Let’s hope the weather doesn’t delay the test :))))
