A good thing I'm doing for CR?

<p>I’m HORRIBLE on CR. I took 2 practice tests and missed 25 and 29 out of 67 questions. It’s bad, I know.</p>

<p>I printed the test out, took the test, and I’m now using the Online SAT course thingy (test 5) to see what I got wrong. I scroll after I reanswer the question to see if I’m right or wrong. I’m too lazy to read the passages again, so I decide not to read them; I just do straight to where they direct you to glance.</p>

<p>I don’t know if it’s because I read the story once before, but I’m getting the questions right. I’m using what they gave me, and answering the questions with evidence (untimed, of course).</p>

<p>I have like other practice tests, so I would like to know if this means that not reading the passage is a good thing for me, or is it because I have already read the passage? Thanks!</p>

<p>:-DD</p>

<p>I don’t know… you’d have to try it on a section or two to see how it turns out. That might help if you’re running out of time, and that’s why you’re missing questions. But if you’re missing them because you don’t really see the answer, then not reading the passage might make it even worse.</p>

<p>I don’t see the answer. :-&lt;/p>

<p>I figure…how much worse can it get. :-D</p>

<p>I just took a practice reading passage section that I took in February.</p>

<p>I actually read it then, and now I just picked it out for the answers.</p>

<p>I missed 9 out of 16 questions then.</p>

<p>I missed 5 out of 16 questions now.</p>

<p>Do I have to test it more to see if this method “works” or was just luck?</p>

5

<p>it’s not luck. reading the passage ENTIRELY bumped my practice score up ten points. It’s the best method. Keep doing it.</p>

6

<p>I dunno. It just doesn’t make sense to me why reading LESS of the passage would help you answer the questions BETTER, since time isn’t an issue.</p>

<p>practice. vocab. barron’s. </p>

<p>repeat.</p>

<p>Vocab doesn’t really help significantly on the passages, I don’t think…</p>

9

<p>vocab doesn’t , just your understanding of how the word is used in context.</p>

10

<p>Yeah… but I’d say it’s not worth it to memorize word lists for the passages.</p>

11

<p>yes it does.In fact,VERY HELPFUL. Dont knock it if you havn’t tried it.</p>

12

<p>Oh. Well, in fact I do spend quite a bit of time memorizing vocab, but I do it for sentence completions. I haven’t noticed it helping much in passages.</p>
