<p>These are good tips, but what do you all mean by POE?? Is this a PR technique?</p>
<p>POE= process of elimination i think</p>
<p>thank you Megaman :)</p>
<p>I’d second all of these suggestions, especially using SAT words in normal conversation. I personally didn’t do any preparation for CR other than just doing practice tests normally, however, I subscribe to “A word a day” (from quotationspage.com) and various other schemes like that. quite useful really. The thing is, for the SAT you don’t need to know the actual meaning of a word, just a rough idea as to its implications/meaning in context. POE is also useful. Personally CR’s the easiest section for me (got 800s both times) so I hope what I’ve said is useful. (I got Picayune through that word a day scheme, saw it sometime last February, irritated all my friends by using it all the time, cool word, isn’t it?

<p>read American Pageant for AP us history.
I’m a foreigner, and after I finished reading half of that book, I found the SAT reading section is not that hard as before.
And, that book managed passages in the exactly same manner as the SAT reading section.</p>
