<p>Hi, I am preparing for the SAT and I had a quick question about CR. Grammatix and Rocket Review said that the line citation questions are in chronological order so any answer choices that contain information from later in the passage can be elimnated immediately. But, Kaplan said that you need to read the whole passage because th answers to the line citation questions could include info from later in the passage. Also, I have been doing some of Kaplan's pratice tests from their book that I got from their class and what they say seems to be the case with them but then, I have also been doing some of the Blue Book tests and I think Grammatix and RR are right then. Therefore, I know what the BB says is most likely correct since it is from the CB but I just wanted to make sure that is how the real SAT is because I have not taken it yet. Hence, if anyone could verify what is corect and let me know I would greatly apprecite it. Sorry for the extremely long post.</p>
<p>Grammatix and Rocket Review are correct. The reading questions are always in chronological order and generally pertain only to the paragraph the line reference is in. The only exception is that sometimes they throw in a main idea question in the beginning, so just skip those until the end. I think your best bet is to read one paragraph at a time and then answer the questions that reference that paragraph. The SAT reading never asks you to read, synthesize, and draw conclusions about the entire passage (except for main idea). You only need the information in the relevant paragraph to answer the questions. It's just the way they write this test.</p>
<p>Just wanted to make sure that everyone else also feels that what ramakong said is correct?</p>
<p>Ya i agree with ramakong</p>
<p>So it means that the answer will NOT be in somewhere BELOW the line reference ???
Barron's 2400 has another way to read: read in passage. After you read 1 passage, go to the questions and answer those related to that passage and repeat. Is it the good approach ??</p>
<p>Around line reference to be safe, unless the next line is the start of a new paragraph.</p>
<p>ramakong is correct.</p>
