i have the same problem as u i get high 600s to low 700s in math (due to careless mistakes)...mid 600s in writing...and low 500s in CR

i need to increase my overall score but especially in CR i dunno why but i have a hard time staying focus and understanding the boring passages but the interesting ones i do really well on them (which are really rare) any suggestions?

^ You two just need practice, that's all.

When I started with a 500, I used to curse those darned art, literature, and historical passages. And I loved the fiction ones. Then I started focusing more on EACH passage regardless of their subject.

Try doing that.
For me, it only came with a lot of practice.

Also, use your pencil to underline ... make notes etc. Helps a lot!
