<p>I simply think time management is the hardest part. So for this part i am gonna need your advice></p>
<p>How much time do you allocate for the sentence completion question?</p>
<p>How much time do you allocate for the single long passage(13 question)</p>
<p>How much time do you allocate for the two single passage( 5+9 question)</p>
<p>Last but not the least how much time do you allocate for 2 short passage?</p>
<p>Hope you help!</p>
<p>and most important do you simply go with your guts for the sentence completion part because that helps a lot to me!!!!!</p>
<p>If you have some good prep books they should have good answers for you on all these questions…</p>
<p>I have three books 1) barrons 2) BB 3)Princeton </p>
<p>Now there is nothing about these stuffs so, i need your advice</p>
<p>Here’s a suggestion:<br>
First, try one test from the Blue Book of real SAT tests. Take each of the CR sections in that test with no time limitation at all, but record the time you need to answer each component of the section comfortably. Add up your times for the entire section, and compare with the time allowed for the section. If it’s less, you are done.
If it’s more, select a second test from the Blue Book. Allocate time for each of the components of the sections, proportional to the number of questions in that component. (Please ask if this is not clear). Now use a timer to pace yourself through the test. If you reach the end of the time you’ve assigned to a particular component before you’re done with it, stop and go on to the next. Also, keep track to see if there are any components within the section that you finish before the time is up.
Now, compare your scores from the two tests, on a component-by-component basis (long passage, single passages, short passages) and check the times. With luck, you will see some pattern that will show how you can adjust the simple proportional time allocation to maximize your score.<br>
Then, take a third test, using your new “formula” for the time per component. Did it work?</p>
<p>This obviously will work best if you have not already taken all of the tests in the book. If you have, you might try to get a copy of the older version of the real SAT book (red), and work on the timing for just the reading passages.</p>
<p>On sentence completion, use whatever works for you. (I think you are not a native English speaker–if so, most places will take that into account in assessing your CR scores.)</p>
<p>Thank you!
Are the red book passage helpful?</p>
<p>Cause I am gonna try that nex</p>
<p>Yes, I think the red book reading passages would be quite helpful, and similar in nature to the current SAT reading material. The chief difference is that tests in the red book will include analogies, which have been dropped from the current test. This makes the timing a little trickier, but if you just focus on timing the separate components of the reading section, it should work.</p>
<p>On CR passages take the number of questions and add 2. So devote 15 minutes to a passage with 13 questions.</p>
<p>i usually do 13 qs in 13 mins or try to anyway
but i sometimes go over by like 13-40ish seconds</p>
