Reading Comprehension

Test Preparation SAT Preparation
1

<p>I just took a practice section of a Verbal test.</p>

<p>Out of 24 questions from Barron's, I missed 1 on the Sentence Completion portion and 8 on the Reading portion.</p>

<p>I feel stupid. Maybe I should, maybe I shouldn't. This is the first SAT Reading practice thing I have done in a long time, but I'm trying to raise my 550 to hopefully somewhere in the high 600's to the low 700's.</p>

<p>I'm looking at why I got it wrong. It is sort of helping, but not completely, if I'm being honest. I'm going to do like a million practice tests. Do you think my score will be put on rails and speed up, or not?</p>

<p>A lot of these questions are pretty much the same, do a 25min section or two a day everyday and you should be fine after 2 weeks</p>

<p>This summer I've read like over 6 books so far, so I'm trying!</p>

<p>I want this so bad! I just want my scores to go up. </p>

<p>I have hope though.</p>

4

<p>I did 3 25 minute sections today including the essay...so it's okay to break up the SAT when you practice? good... :)</p>

<p>i haven't taken an "official" SAT yet..but I hope these practice tests help me out.</p>

5

<p>Somewhere along the line you should do a couple 4hr sessions of whole tests, but for practicing to improve your skills splitting a whole test up is fine.</p>

6

<p>ok, thanks :)</p>

7

<p>I plan to do 4 hr tests when I feel comfortable in all the areas of the tests. I have like a billion tests, so I'm in no dire rush to go straight to the full-on simulated SAT test. I know that getting a feel for the whole time is a biggie, but I know I'm nowhere near there.</p>

<p>So you think my score will go up though as I take more tests? What if it doesn't?</p>

<p>Hi everybody:</p>

<p>I'm goin' to sit for the SAT I in Nov.Yesterday, I sat down and took a diagnostic test in Barron 2400 with a view to getting hold of my present level and scored 640 on the CR section ( before taking it, I haven't prepared anything for the SAT ) . How feasible is it if my goal is 740 or 750 ?
Inputs appreciated. Thanks a bunch</p>

<p>Pygmalion: your goal is entirely feasible, just practice</p>

<p>Glucose: your scores should improve since those question are pretty predictable, especially after lots of tests, they are always "what is main idea..." or "this word in context means..." or "the author of ____ would most likely..."</p>

10

<p>The thing is that I know the types of questions that they will ask...it really isn't that. It's just I never pick the answer that they're thinking of, and I don't know what they're thinking of.</p>

<p>Don't try to overthink, go for the obvious one if it makes sense.</p>
