What can I do to improve my CR score?

<p>I took the SAT-I on 2014 Jan and got 630 on CR (HUGE improvement since I got 450 on my 1st try).
I want to get it to 700+ before May. (Going to retake on May :p)
What should I do every day to get it to 700+?
Also, I heard those who get near perfect score on CR started out on 700~800 range.
Does this mean those of us who suck at CR is screwed?</p>

<p>Maybe it would be better to wait until fall of next year and spend some time prepping over the summer. Read, read, read… newspapers, academic books, Wall Street Journal, etc and look up words you are unfamiliar with. Work on increasing your vocabulary (words).</p>

<p>You’ve already gone up a great deal–180 points on CR is HUGE. Advice above is good. Read books. Read newspapers. If it’s your junior year, you truly have better things to do with your time than work on vocabulary every single day. And FWIW, I’ve tutored kids who started out in the 600’s and ended up above 750.</p>

<p>I am in the same situation! Got 610 in the Jan international test hoping for 700+ in May… what should I work on?</p>

<p>Analyze your score report. What did you do worst on? Start there.</p>

<p>Start reading when you are a kid. Don’t expect to go from average to brilliant with a ‘trick’.</p>
