<p>I know this sounds obvious, but when you read the passage, think to yourself the purpose of everything the author says, and anticipate when you read something what the test will ask you about it and what your answer will be. My strategy is to see the test in the eyes of the test maker. The CR is always my hardest section, but I think if you realize that it's full of tricks and deception and learn to recognize it when you see, you'll do a lot better.</p>
<p>I have a friend who never finishes these tests despite being a usually quick student. Anyway, we recently figured out why: He shows all of his work.</p>
<p>Don't do this. Get the answer. Fill in the bubble. You don't have to explain why or how.</p>
<p>I know this sounds really obvious, but it turns out that a lot of people do the SAT math section like a math quiz at school. Not good.</p>
<p>I totally agree with you Fakeout. When I took the SAT in March I second guessed myself way too much for the verbal and missed some where I had the right answer first.</p>
<p>yeah that second guess thing used to get me...then I started reading all the detail type (line related) questions (which are usually in order) then reading the passage until I reached that detial. This essentially cuts down on time and well you'll know what you are reading for. </p>
<p>so in the end it is just like reading the passage but with a POINT of reference when you read...this eliminates the ******** kaplan and princeton review (writing in margin strategy) and in the end when you do te main idea/ realtiing both passages questions....you'll have a better (active) idea of what you read. also considering that new SAT passages are a bit easier (topic wise) and a little harder question - wise...this strategy may be wise.</p>
<p>PS: don't use this just because I said so, it's just a suggestion. don't change your routine if it already works for you. <-- kinda obvious but just thought I'd point that out. peace</p>
<p>someone keep posting lol</p>
