no improvement in CR?

<p>i've been doing 1-2 cr sections per day for a month. however, to my frustration, there hasn't been much increase in the scores. i keep making around 16-20 mistakes every three sections. any advice?</p>

<p>In case you didn’t know this already:</p>

<p>Just doing sections doesn’t necessary mean that you will improve on a specific area. If you have a great strategy then the solution is how you fix you mistakes as well how you got the correct answer, in order to be able to improve you have to thoroughly review constantly so next time the same mistake won’t be made; even if it means re-doing the means questions. I learned this through experience; I had the same problem before until I started reviewing and re-doing the same questions I got right/wrong.</p>

<p>how exactly am i supposed to “re-do” the questions? once i’ve done one, it’s just impossible to forget the answer. i can’t seem to “review” in the right way, either. every time i realize i get an answer wrong, i go see the explanation, and i just “figure out” why i did wrong. but it doesn’t seem to help improve at all. i keep on making mistakes (i don’t know if they all are the same type). and that’s my situation.</p>

<p>Maybe you should try a different strategy if thats the case.</p>

<p>well, i think this one’s already the best to me: i follow exactly the steps in this

<p>I don’t use that strategy but I tend to get the same number of questions you get wrong, what part are you getting wrong the passages or completions? for me its the completions because my vocab and logic sucks.</p>

<p>You could try to figure out why the correct answer is correct before consulting the official explanation. That helped me more than just reading the explanation since it made me think about the question a lot more than just glazing over the explanation.</p>

<p>@gman: for me it’s passages.
@Apoc: i tried to, but i couldn’t figure out. it’s just too hard.</p>
