<p>Is there any way to improve my critical reading score??? I have tried solving some of the Barron's practices but my score hasn't improved much. My score ranges from 600-650 (depending on the tests) but I would really really like to reach 700. Does anyone have a solution?!!!</p>
<p>hmm…it’s hard to say.
I think your words are enough.
Maybe u should try more articles.</p>
<p>Ditch Barron’s and do only CB tests.</p>
<p>Barron’s is so bad…</p>
<p>Jw, why is Barron’s a bad choice to use?</p>
<p>Any choice is bad. Always use official tests for practice.</p>
<p>Blue book only.</p>
<p>^Alright, we get it, use the BB instead of barrons. </p>
<p>@ MidnightBlue23: As to actually answer the question, barrons is bad because it does not reflect the difficulty of the real test. Therefore, there is no real purpose to studying it. It is not only harder, but it is off the mark in terms of question types, so it is not as if you are getting better by practicing since you are practicing for the wrong thing. Also, the score that you get will undoubtedly be lower than your actual score. How much lower is different for everyone, so don’t even try to estimate your actual score by using what you got for barrons. </p>
<p>@ southernpalace: As for improving, you should understand where you make mistakes. That way, you can avoid making the same mistakes over and over again.</p>
