<p>Can someone PLEASE organize the current coversation on Reading and Writing here?
I am a senior and I think I did REALLY badly... I am taking again in November.....but dnjkgnejagdsa. Since I got a mid-500s and 700 in Writing on the March SAT, I am trying to cancel it if I cannot get over 600 on Reading and over 700 on writing :'(
It would be very, very generous of you if you post the complete list here!! T,T</p>
<p>Do it yourself. It’s one thing to ask for a question you don’t know, but it’s just laziness for you to ask someone else to do something that you can do yourself.</p>
<p>I was just wondering if anyone made a conclusive list. Don’t be mean :(</p>
<p>Lol. It’s okay. There’s no harm in asking</p>
<p>Don’t freak out, you’re not alone. Critical reading was my weak point before I started practicing for the SAT. I would get 580s and 600s. That said, critical reading scores are hard to improve and it just takes doing a lot of critical reading sections in practice tests. Read carefully. Your mind should always be interpreting the passage, not just blatantly reading the words. Think of the authors point. What side is he trying to take? The main idea is always very important and helps answer a lot of the other questions.
For the writing section. You need to know the types of traps Collegeboard sets in the spot the error sections.
Tense usually has long pause play commas to make you forget the sib jets tense. In the following sentence, you could cross out the whole middle sections in between the commas- Machu Pichu, one of the tallest stone temples in the Amazon rainforest, have been slowly crumbling due to the humid temperatures of the region.
Being- the word being in any sentence is usually wrong and wordy
Concise- the SAT likes concise sentences that get the point across clearly.</p>
<p>Well, I don’t have time to type anymore, but I hoped that helped a little. Doing practice tests from the collegeboard blue book in timed conditions really does help raise your score though. Other things do much less.</p>
<p>Brotherhood- Thank you for your comment! I actually did A LOT of practice tests, which makes me really sad. Around this point of time, I scored about the same on critical reading that I am getting right now. I memorized quite a bit of vocab words and did a lot of practice tests (most of the ones from collegeboard and other ones). My writing improved more almost 150 points since then, but my reading… :’( I’m slowly losing my motivation to study :((</p>
