<p>Thank you very much! It seems familiar, like I think I’ve seen the passages somewhere before… I’ll still use it as practice though; I doubt think I remember the answers. (:</p>
<p>I took a practice test from 2005 and got a 680 on reading… I’m not really sure what to do now to keep on improving. Would you guys say that reading a book would help more than simply taking lots of practice sections?</p>
<p>Kevin, no. Practice is a lot better than just passive reading. Practice and then go over your mistakes. </p>
<p>Okay, I officially conclude that the 2013-2014 Official Practice test is wayyy to easy(No Math yet). At least it is a lot easier than other SAT tests I have taken. Anyway, I took the Writing section and I got 1 wrong. </p>
<p>Five years in [the writing], her new book is [both a response] to her critics’ mistrust [with] her earlier findings and [an elaboration] of her original thesis. No error </p>
<p>Now that I look at it, its not too bad. I focused my attention on another error type and forgot about the true error. I’ll post the answer in a bit. Writing score is a 770 with a 10 essay but I do not trust this test…</p>
<p>Never trust the practice test provided by Collegeboard. It’s always easier than the real thing; it’s meant to be something that lets down test takers’ guards</p>
<p>Thanks! I’ll keep on practicing and going over my mistakes, which usually come from over analyzing. Is the error “mistrust [with]”?.. I would think that it should be “mistrust of.”</p>
<p>MedicalBoy, I can see you’re great when it comes to the reading portion of the SAT. Do you have any tips on what I should do? I took a practice reading section the other day without a time limit and got a 760(-4). But when I take timed tests I get 620-680. I really want to consistently hit 700+ under timed conditions. Any advice on how to fix this time issue?</p>
<p>The truth is that I am not good at reading. Sometimes I get lucky but it is not consistent. </p>
<p>For your problem, I would suggest you to reduce the time you take by 1-2 minutes until you hit 25 min. Try marking what problems take the longest time and try to develop those skills.</p>
<p>Hi guys ! Is this true that the more vocabulary you memorize , the more u score in CR ? I mean i ll take sat in november and i am an international student ( asia ) , say if i just cram the direct hits core vocabulary till november (thats not very easy for me ) , can i score 700+ in CR ?</p>
<p>Yakisoba, I wish I knew. I get some right but not others. </p>
<p>BHhazy, vocab alone will help a bit but focusing on passage based questions is good too. </p>
<p>August is right around the corner. I’ve got to step it up. I have to find efficient ways of practicing so that I make no mistakes. Starting with next week I will start taking full length practice tests. October is my last chance and I’m not leaving anything up to chance. Let’s do this.</p>
<p>Hi everyone! I want to go from a 2000 (CR:750, M:630, W:620) to a 2250+. I got a 2130 on my last practice test (CR:740, M:660, W:730). I’d be happy to help people with CR if someone helps me with math.</p>
<p>anyone have anything good for improving the passage questions in the critical reading? I feel like I’m weaker then when i frist took the test and that time I only got a 2020
610 in cr A ****ING 610 I need to get that up.</p>
<p>@sparkle, what did you do to increase your writing score from a 620 to a 730? Right now my range is 650 around 6-8 errors. I want to reduce it down to 0-2. How did you improve/lessen your errors?</p>
<p>@jeffisaboss Read the passage slowly and mark it up. Refer back to the passage when you answer the question and underline/ box in the lines it asks about. Keep the context of the lines in mind. It’s usually not the obvious answer. Try to answer the question in your head first , and then look for the choice that best matches your answer.</p>
