<p>my score is 420,I need like 550-600 till october," I'm taking the test again"
so everyone is telling me to practice and read books
but I practiced a lot while I was preparing for the first time,I must have been practicing in a wrong way
for those who got really high cr scores,please I need an advice,my high school average is 94 and I don't want my sat results to affect my chance of getting into a good uni..
I used Barron's on the first time,I'm getting collegeboard guide this time I have 3 months to prepare
oh and in addition to the tips,I'd like to know what are some good books and stories that will effectively stimulate my skills? Some books are just a waste of time and meaningless ,I need good ones :/
thanks in advance!</p>
<p>I wasn’t perfect on reading, but I got a 710 due to some helpful strategies. I would say that learning how to put the author’s words into your own words while reading is a great way gain comprehension. Practice doing this while reading books of your preference, and then practice answering the passage based questions in your own words, so you know what to expect and aren’t tripped up by college boards’s answer choices. Also study a copious amount of vocabulary. A little studying every day goes a long way with vocab.</p>
<p>I have the same problem too! I have been reading a lot of tips and strategies in preparing for the CR section, but as much as I “practice” it, I don’t think I’m improving. </p>
<p>How do you “study” for the Critical Reading? Do you just practice, practice, practice? </p>
<p>I rarely have problems with vocabulary. I just need to do better on the reading comprehension questions.</p>
<p>but what if it takes me a lot to understand the passage?
during the exam,when the supervisor said : you have 5 mins left,I was in the middle of reading the first passage
I kept missing like 5 questions from every cr section ,but I never had this difficulty at home.This complication popped up in the official exam :/</p>
<p>It might just be that you’re really nervous when you’re taking the exam since it doesn’t happen at home! You need to relax some more and take the pressure off of your head. If you’re doing well at home, then you should be applying the same things you do at the exam. Nothing there is different (other than people around you and the proctor). People there shouldn’t bother you, as long as you ignore them I’m sure you’ll do fine!</p>
