In fact, Noitaraperp's method is the best. All you need is absolute concentration. It really works.

I got 660 on my reading and naturally was upset. So I used this method and practiced the day before on reading, and got 800!

Now if only I could say the same for my other scores. :P

I will take December SAT. I solved princeton review 11 practice tests, mcgraw 12 practice tests, kaplan 12 practice tests, blue book. I know I am a hardworking dumb

SO I DO NOT HAVE any practice tests that I can do more. Also, because I predicted I would get a good score(700s) on October sat, I used blue and red pen to check the answers ... so it is hard to re-do them.

Any suggestions???? please??? I got 8 wrong on reading part....

@Noitaraperp I am convinced by and am following the method you've stated however there is a problem. It seems that I haven't yet learnt the 'real art' of reading yet because i superced the time limit always in spite of having a good success rate. I know practice makes perfect but could you further give some tips about that art of reading? Thanks

Concentration and practice are the two main thing for cracking out critical reading section I guess! I practiced 13 practice tests before the SAT test 9 BB and 4 PR by just using this method and it helped me a lot to improve my scores.

Thank you soooo much. I can get in the mid to high 700's for math and writing, but i always get the 600's for critical thinking. You have no idea how helpful your strategies are. I'm starting to realize what I'm doing wrong.

Thanks so much! I got it up to 770 from a 690 after using your method. Devil's Advocate is indispensable!

Wow, this really helped me. I did 2 sections of the Critical Reading without this and got -4 and -2 on the long passages. I went 10 minutes overtime, like I usually do. However, when I used this, not only did I get 1 wrong on the long passage but I finished 2 minutes before the time limit. Not only is it more efficient than the usual method, it is more effective. Great Work Noitaraperp! Thanks for sharing your methods with the rest of the world in this long comprehensive advice, not many people are kind of enough to spend time to this nowadays.

One question. Do you have any methods on how to do better on the essays?
