recommendations for reading?

Test Preparation SAT Preparation
1

<p>I took the SAT twice already and October is my final shot.</p>

<p>and I barely broke 600 on CR... I tried tons of CR questions but it doesn't seem like I'm improving much. </p>

<p>so I came down to this: I just have to read a lot! (pretty stupid)</p>

<p>so over the summer, I'm gonna really try to read a lot.. and I heard that it's better to read magazines rather than some novels or other stuff.</p>

<p>I'm currently subscribed to TIME and NEWSWEEK.. any other recommendatoins? thxs</p>

<p>ah also what does "time is on someone's side" mean? (obviously I'm not American)
it's pretty random but I was just curious =)</p>

<p>Apparently reading the editorials in the newspaper ups your vocab and reading comprehension,you could try that. "Time is on [someone's] side" means that things will work out with time, I don't know any other way to explain it. Yeah, our American sayings are weird and useless for the most part.</p>

<p>I think "time is on your side" means you have plenty of time for something. Like, "I know you have to memorize a lot of vocab words, but time is on your side."</p>

<p>The Atlantic Monthly is one of the more literary magazines out there. Really intellectual stuff. News and really smart articles.</p>

<p>READ THE ECONOMIST (not Time/Newsweek). The articles are of much higher quality. Also, it's a little bit more balanced from an international perspective. </p>

<p>Time is on your side=time is your friend=you've got lots of time to accomplish what you need to. E.g. in studying for the CR section of the October test, time is on your side since it's only June now :)</p>

<p>A cheaper/easier option to read blogs, particularly if you're into politics.</p>
