Do you guys have any special strategies you use for the CR passages? I know about all the usual strategies, but I would like yours!

Thanks.

Not getting bored is important, cause if you get bored you slow down your reading and if you slow down your reading you risk not getting into the flow of the passage/finishing the section or barely finishing and panicking in the last few minutes.

any other strategies?

Pick the one that interests you most first.

if you're out of time, do the word-in-context first.

Make sure to read the "blurb" before each passage.

I found it helpful to read one paragraph, do the questions about it, and the next paragraph and the questions, etc. and then going back and doing everything at once.

For the questions which asked: "what does ____ imply?" you must read the lines before and after the line reference, because most of the time the answer has to do not with what's quoted, but what's not quoted.

There's my two cents!
