If you are taking AP Language/Lit, the comprehension passages are much harder so if you verse yourself with those, the SAT critical reading passages will seem like a breeze. Pick apart past CR reading passages. First, do it on your own( duh), then check the answers. With every single answer, even the ones you got right, see what made it right and wrong. Rhetoric can be confusing- but all it takes is one word to make an answer choice incorrect. If you analyze and pick it apart and take your time, not only will you get a more innate sense of how to pick choices on the spot but you will just get better! Also, this is common sense, but seriously? READ. If you are serious, because you certainly sound so, read science passages, biographies, the newspaper in your free time. It's a more natural way to instilling something- instead of that stark pressure to memorize and get it.
