<p>merry christmas everyone! im planning to build up my vocab and improve my reading skills for the march sat and also next year's sats. can anyone suggest some good magazines and books? ive heard that some magazines like The Economist are pretty good?</p>
<p>Best book ever to improve CR: Norton Reader. I read it over the summer and went from 700 to 800 CR</p>
<p>well.....improving from 700 to 800 in CR doesn't really need a book...in a good day u can get an 800..my point is...a person who can score a 700 in CR can also score 800 w/o learning much techniques...............</p>
<p>to the OP: there's no particular magazine/book that can help you...just read whatever you like to read (as long as that's english...lol.).....the more you read...u'll have a better edge...read diverse amount of things though...</p>

<p>Disagree.</p>
<p>Reading in a foreign language is a great way to improve your concentration and understanding. When you read in a foreign language, you have to be 100% focused on the text. Even one stray thought in English and you've lost any hope of comprehending what you're reading. Practice makes perfect. Apply those same principles to those passage readings, facto change-o (did I make that up? lol), no more daydreaming.</p>

<p>emm....i don't think you'd have to read SAT Passages in this way for the most part given the amount of time given to you....well..if u wanna apply techniques of "concentration" for helping u in M, CR, and W as a whole, then, the best way to do is take more and more FULL LENGTH practice tests in a real condition (quiet room, and not taking more time for any sections and stuffs).</p>
