<p>I got a 700 on CR and I need to boost it to about 750. I usually get the easy and medium questions right and the hard ones to 50/50 and I try to answer all questions. Would it be a good strategy to omit 2-3 hard questions, or would I miss those that I missed AND have zero points for omits? Thanks.</p>
<p>If you can narrow it down to two or three definitely answer. Personally, I answer every question but I suppose if you don’t have a clue you might as well omit.</p>
<p>The rule I was taught is that if you’re going for anything above a 660, you shouldn’t omit any questions.</p>
<p>Ok thanks, I’ll just answer all or omit 1</p>
<p>If I had omitted everything I got wrong, I would have got +20-+50…as well as a 2300+.</p>
<p>however it’s highly unlikely you knew each question you got wrong and then omit it</p>
<p>Purpleacorn. I got a 700 and omitted a few (in math). </p>
<p>I used Princeton review to prep, and it brought my math score up 80 points. </p>
<p>It’s more about techniques and how to approach the problems. The rest is just “simple” calculation after you weed out extraneous information.</p>
<p>That’s harder in a CR than in a math, though. The poster’s asking about omitting in CR, and unlike math, you’re usually stuck between two choices and both sound equally correct. Like Dorkyelmo said, it’s hard to predict which of the questions you’re guessing on is ‘likely right’ or ‘likely wrong’. I just personally have a hard time omitting, period, but that’s more a personal quirk.</p>
<p>If you approach a question and you have absolutely no idea or no time because there’s another passage, omit. If you have it down to two answer choices or so, and have time, I would say try to look it at. The best advice I ever got on CR was to look critically at the answer choices, and find the differences between them for what makes a question ‘wrong’. Additionally, avoid extremes in the answer choice if you can help it.</p>
<p>How did I even overlook that, my apologies. </p>
<p>In the case of CR, I would omit.</p>
<p>It seems to me that omitting will get you a higher score then guessing ( just talking average scores for CR not like 700s lol) is this true?</p>
