Actually, I was in the same situation as you, on my PSAT and practice tests I kept scoring from 680-710 but usually in the high 600s. But then on my actually SAT I scored a 740 in CR.
I pretty much agree with quickandslowly, active reading helps a lot. I find that when I'm paying attention and actually concentrating on the passage I actually understand what the passage means and I usually get the questions right whereas when I'm not concentrating and I'm not focused when reading the passage I usually have no idea what questions are talking about.
Yeah AP Language passages are pretty good practice for CR because they're harder and prepare, I think they helped me a little bit.
I know everyone says to read like magazines and newspapers, but sometimes that helps too. I read Time but I don't know if that helped my CR because I got bored and just read the interesting articles...
