<p>Critical reading is my weak point... i usually get around a 500. Math and writing I get 600-700 most of the time. I'm just not that good at reading and interpreting I feel like I'm guessing a lot between two-three answers. </p>
<p>How do I improve???!?!
I'm starting to learn lot of SAT vocab right now.
But it's mainly the reading part I struggle with, any advice to improve :(... </p>
<p>The vocab is important, but from what you said, I don’t think that’s the main point you need to work on. I don’t know if you are already doing this, but I would recommend to place your pencil underneath the line that you are reading in the passage because it makes you focus on what you’re pointing at and it may increase your reading speed. Make annotations on the side and circle or box the transition words because a lot of the answers are around or relate to the transition words. Read the whole passage first and then start the problems. Some people read the questions first and then read the passage and answer as they go, or they find the answers in the passage while answering without reading the whole passage, but I found that reading the ENTIRE passage first AND THEN answering questions was the most effective. Ultimately it depends on what you’re comfortable with though.</p>
