<p>I've been practicing lots of SAT questions and my CR is stuck in 600.</p>
<p>I always miss about 1~2 questions in each sentence completion part and 3~4 per long </p>
<p>passage. I usually don't miss any in short passage.</p>
<p>What should I do? I'm trying to read a lot and focus on finding a CLUE.</p>
<p>Do you think studying for LSAT might help???</p>
<p>bump for my own selfish reason. XDD</p>
<p>...studying for the lsat? as in the law exam? well...i know i get all of those cr questions right after sat prep lmao idk if it works the other way around too</p>
<p>you might want to chunk your longer reading passages. Read a paragraph or two and then answer the questions corresponding to that section. I do it now, and it helps me a lot on the more detailed question.</p>
<p>But do it quickly enough that you will remember every chunk by the time you reach the end and have to answer a general, the author's purpose was....the general tone was...etc. question.</p>
<p>bump!@@@@@2</p>
<p>Practice, Practice, Practice! Buy as many practice SAT books as you can find and keep taking practice tests, and make sure you learn as many vocabulary words as you possibly can. On my first practice test (out of the official college board book) I only scored a 2160(710 Critical Reading, 750 Math, 700 Writing). After 3 months of diligent practice (including memorizing 20 new words per day) I finally took the official test and scored a 2360 (Critical Reading:800, Math:760, Writing:800). It is definitely possible to improve your SAT score significantly especially if you examine the meta-cognitive steps (thinking about your thought process) that lead to successful answers, and build your knowledge basis especially for the critical reading and writing sections.</p>
<p>read a lot - and i don't mean the SAT prep books, necessarily, just... books. also, you may want to use the AP prep books. they're much harder, but they help.</p>
<p>Also, try doing SAT Literature practice tests (Kaplan's book has 8). After I did that, my CR practice scores went from 600s/700s to 800. You have to make sure that you are practicing effectively, though--i.e., going over each question you got wrong & understanding why you got it wrong. At first it might feel like it's not helping at all, but eventually something will suddenly click, if my case is any indication.</p>
