<p>Hi guys I have been studying for a couple months for the SAT. Much of my study is confined to solely learning vocabulary and taking BB practice tests. My main concern is the math and critical reading section. For the critical reading section I typically receive a score range of 580-620. The problem is my sentence completion is fickle. On one practice test I got 12/19 of the sc correct and did rather well on the reading passages. I ended up getting a 590. On another practice test I got 17/19 correct on the sc but did not do as well on the reading passages and received a 600. I don't understand what marks this inconsistency. The SAT I believe when it comes to vocab is a load of ********, regardless I have to deal with it. I believe the more words I know the less ammunition collegeboard has to fire at me. Also on the reading passages I find the best strategy for me is to read the passage first then answer the questions. The problem with the passages is time management and maybe my strategy is not good enough. What different strategies are there for the reading passages and how much time should you spend on sentence completion?</p>

<p>Also when it comes to the math section I rely on intuition. I constantly score in the 680-700 range but would like to boost up to 730-750. The problem with me is that I rush through the first 15 and occasionally misread or make a silly error. For the most part, all the hard questions are easy, yet time consuming. What strategies for time management do most people follow? Please Share!</p>

<p>^ Try the ACT as it is much much easier.</p>

<p>When it comes to CR practice is everything. Vocab is super important, every prep book has a list, so get yourself a few prep books and make a consolidated one. That’s all sentence completion really is. </p>

<p>My strategy for CR: skim through the questions first, then underline the lines that the questions ask about. When you’re reading thorugh, when you hit a line, finish the paragraph to understand more about the context, and as it’s fresh in your memory, answer the question. Very few of those line questions require further reading to grasp the situation. Do the big-picture questions for the end.</p>

<p>With math, the only I can suggest is being careful and watching out for your time. Do the easy ones first, difficult ones last, don’t be scared of skipping questions. After all, they’re all worth the same.</p>
