<p>I always seem to miss 3 questions per CR section.</p>
<p>How do I minimize this?</p>
<p>It’s mostly always the reading portion, FYI.</p>
<p>Thanks in advance;)</p>
<p>Maybe you could isolate the section of the passage where the answer is. E.g. for “In line 12 - 14 …”, you would hop to line 10 and read to line 16. It makes it easier to concentrate on the answer and it’s also quicker than reading the whole passage.</p>
<p>But it depends which type of questions you miss, so…</p>
<p>Make sure you’re answering the question.</p>
<p>I took the PR course and it really helped me out a lot.
I don’t remember the exact strategy. But what it basically stressed was differentiating with “fetch” and “reasoning” questions. Do the fetch first (the ones with the line number given). Then the reasoning questions. Usually the first question is “What is the author tryin to say, as a passage as a whole”. Well
how the hell could you base it off with reading a few lines. That’s a reasoning question, and stupud College Board puts them in places that trap test-takers. Anyway, the idea then is not to read the passage first. U will have to read some, answer a few questions, come back to reading, etc. Then the “passage as a whole” questions come later. The other reasoning questions, like tone etc. are up to your discretion. Personally, I sometimes answered them as I was going, and some later. Also, other questions fall into the grey area of these two categories, so you have to watch out for not giving too straight-forward answers. I hope that wasn’t confusing. If u wanna talk more, I can give my aim sn.</p>
<p>BTW, my score went up from 700 to 760.
My math went from 660 to 740, if that matters.</p>
