<p>^ haha I got a 710 so barely over a 700. But it was a big improvement from my 590..hahah. I did all the practice tests in the CB book. But that was over the summer when I had a lot of time. One of my friends just did the CR section from each practice test because that was her main focus. </p>
<p>I mostly did practice tests, checked my answers and reviewed my mistakes. Not much studying besides a bit of vocab...</p>
<p>are there any good prep books specifically for the CR part of the SAT?</p>
<p>You can refer to Kaplan Critical Reading Workbook. I personally find it useful</p>
<p>730.... So just a bit above.</p>
<p>I've heard people that make 780+ just read alot, which should help. </p>
<p>My advice would be, -don't- be tired for you test (especially for the long passages) and continuously remind yourself of the point of the passage/ what the author is trying to get across.</p>
<p>There's no real answer to getting a better score, but in order to get above a 700, you definately can't omit more than a couple. Omitting is a bad idea if you want to score a 700+ in any section on the SAT, the more you answer, the more points you can get.</p>
<p>You don't necessarily have to study endless hours... I didn't, but I'm really analytical so it helps.</p>
<p>Just do practice tests and move quickly.</p>
<p>So Kaplans was good for the CR section?</p>
<p>I got a 780 and I don't read very much. My advice: Don't overthink the questions.</p>
