Test Preparation SAT Preparation

<p>So in light of the SAT coming up in a week, I decided to take the full-on SAT practice test from the CB website (and what a hellish nightmare that was). </p>

<p>To my dismay I did much worse than I thought I would. I have been prepping a little bit at a time for the past few months, doing a few sections every week. I was confident that I was prepared to get a 2000+.</p>

<p>I ended up getting an 1890 (610CR, 640M, 660W). </p>

<p>Math was surprisingly easy, I just breezed through it and got the score I was expecting (I always get around 650). </p>

<p>However, I was blown away by Critical Reading and Writing. I was expecting to get 700+ on both.</p>

<p>For Critical Reading my main problem was the fact that the passages were so boring I just couldn't comprehend them. Usually I do good on some passages and bad on others, completely depends on the passage.</p>

<p>On Writing I always just suck correcting grammar, which is odd because I like to think that I have superb grammar.</p>

<p>tl;dr: What can I do to do better in Critical Reading and Writing (guides, tips, etc).</p>

<p>Also, I think why I did bad on CR was because I start to lose mental stamina like halfway through the test and just cant focus on the passages. Anyone have any tips for getting through this lack of stamina?</p>

<p>If you haven’t checked out the best articles here on those (How to Attack the Critical Reading Effectively and How to Write a 12 Essay in 10 days or something like that) check those out. Keep doing practice tests and you’ll get used to the tediousness.</p>
