<p>passage then question or question the passage or etc..</p>
<p>The unoriginality of your post is cramping my style.</p>
<p>your face is breaking mirrors.</p>
<p>The latter is a terrible way to do the CR.</p>
<p>lolll pathetic</p>
<p>passage then question</p>
<p>grammatix is telling me to basically question > passage.</p>
<p>I go question before passage and got 770. I don't think it is necessarily a bad way to do CR. The same method got me a 79 on the PSAT, so it isn't a fluke either.</p>
<p>3365, through practice, i have realized, that the question then passage mainly works for long passages. Even then, just try and skim the intro and conclusion of the long passage. Now, that trick doesnt work for Dual passages. The book says it does but it doesnt. The tones switch and points of views so you ll get confused. Just read the dual passages.</p>
<p>Read the passage, then reread bits as you do the questions.</p>
<p>At least, that's what I do.</p>
<p>Just learn to read quickly and then you can just relax, lean back and read the passages without the need for strategies (because it's what I like to do)</p>
<p>I read a paragraph and then answer the relevant questions. Back and forth. This helps me focus and is very efficient.</p>
<p>hopefullygood, and what exactly do you score?</p>
<p>I kind of do the same thing as hopefullygood. Read a paragraph, and then look for relevant questions. Sometimes they have comprehensive questions at the beginning. I usually skip those and return to them after reading the full passage and answering paragraph-specific questions (however, if you are bad with the bubbling, don't do this).</p>
<p>On the June test, I remember there was a passage where you did not even have to read the last 1-2 paragraphs as there wasn't an overarching question.</p>
<p>just follow grammatix</p>
<p>err... passage, then questions, then refer back to the passage if you don't remember. i though cr was easy. all you have to do is read it.</p>
<p>I really think a lot of you are getting too caught up in your "strategies." The order in which you work is completely irrelevant. Find the method that works best for you. I, personally, read the passages first and then answer the questions. It's not a strategy, it's what works best for me. Obviously, this same tactic won't work for someone else, but that's of no concern to me. </p>
<p>I can, however, offer some advice. Don't think of the CR section as something you have to "beat." If you can read and understand the passages in a short amount of time, there's no strategy necessary. If you think your reading speed isn't as high as you'd like it to be, there are a number of websites that can help you get faster. Here's</a> one to get you started.</p>
<p>With some of the longer passages, I read the questions to find the sentence needed. Then I look back to the passage, and read the sentence before, the necessary sentence, and the sentence after. Then I answer the question. Saves me a lot of time.
With the comprehension questions, I just skim over the passage to get a feel for it.</p>
<p>This works only with the longer passages.</p>
<p>dude, grammatix is for those who cant read fast. IF you can read fast, then do passage first.</p>
<p>by the way this is 3365, i got temporarily banned for inappropriate language until 7/04. lol. aite i need to score in the 700's. my 640 is not good enough. grrr</p>
<p>Grammatix methods for CR doesnt really work unless you use it on the long passages(especially the persuasive ones. It doesnt really work well for narrative passages either). Grammatix is gud, but just make sure you know when to use that tactic.</p>
