Blue Book CR passage: What is the difficulty level?
Test #5, Section 8, page 676: The passage about Henry Mulcahy at Jocelyn COllege.

What level CR passage would you rank this compared to others/ real SAT CR passages?

i think it 's a little bit harder,actually a few passages,(maybe 2 or 3?) seem a little more complicated and difficult than the real thing.
