<p>@jor26029 everybody thinks cr is the most difficult section.i hope the cr quesions is easy in the oct sat</p>

62

<p>@Jor26029‌ @satplzzz‌ CR is especially hard for international students. But I think the most dreaded section is the essay, since it’s the first. I always run out of time while practicing writing the essay. But let’s all hope that we can get through this difficult phase. </p>

63

<p>@evelynne1996 the sat essay is all about examples so i hope the topic is very general</p>

64

<p>@evelynne1996 How did you prepare to get 700 in CR? It’s drastically hard for me. Any advices? </p>

65

<p>@IMTLD1‌ well I did CB’s official tests and released tests which can be found online. Practicing a lot really helps, and it’s also important to build a strong vocabulary if you particularly have problems with the questions like word-in-context ones. But personally, I think the key factor that helped me improve my score was believing that I could actually improve it. I used to think that I could never get more than 600s, but now I’m consistently scoring above 700s, and just one hour ago I scored my first 800 (though I highly doubt that it’s just pure luck). But the change in attitude significantly helps, I promise you.</p>

66

<p>I’m having difficulty getting 700 for Math :(</p>

67

<p>@HvePassion‌ have you try reading the Barron’s books? :slight_smile: they’re super instructive for Maths. I have also heard good things about Gruber. </p>

68

<p>Could I ask where are you from?
@evelynne1996</p>

69

<p>@IMTLD1‌ I’m from Vietnam :slight_smile: </p>

70

<p>@Jor26029 I’ve actually done all the practice tests from 2005 to 2013…but there’s always four or five harder problems that I just don’t get. Is there a pdf version of pwnthesat math somewhere? I’m afraid it might be too late to purchase the book for the October SAT next week now…</p>

71
