<p>It’s the types of passages that is. If you love or enjoy the passages you will do well. Here’s my strat. TRY your best to find something VERY interesting in every passage that keeps you hooked. Try and find that one thing… that keeps you going. You HAVE to love the passages. For vocab though… i am sutdying the 3500 world list in barrons. It’s not really hard… already done about 40% of em :(. What starts do you guys recommend for CR?</p>
<p>I have gotten through word list 30 on the Barron’s book! I like your idea, though sometimes in the bleak art passages, it is really hard to concentrate</p>
<p>Ya I see what you mean. I absolutely loath those types of passages. Right now I am on word list 19 :(. I am going to do 2-4 every day so that I will be done by SAT time.</p>
<p>I find the CR somewhat easy, or my view of CS is distorted. Correct me if I am wrong, the SAT QoTD is SAT level, right? Most of the CR questions, if I may say, seem a bit elementary; although I am exposed to only a bit of it. Perhaps the passage questions have a much steeper difficulty gradient? Please clarify. :)</p>
<p>I don’t know if it’s a fact–but it’s something I noticed today while I was using the SAT QotD to do some studying: The math QotD’s seem to be <i>much</i> simpler than the math questions on the actual test. Maybe it was a quality of the ones I found (even though most of them claimed they were “medium” in difficulty–but I doubt they’d be close to medium on the actual SAT), but that’s what I observed for the math. </p>
<p>I can’t say that means that CR QotD’s are easier than the ones on the test–but I’m going to be cautious and pay mor attention to the questions in the Blue book.</p>
<p>Then again, this might be a perception error on my part. I had trouble concentrating on the questions today–so the argument doesn’t hold solid, but it’s a possibility.</p>
<p>Today’s CR qotd was so easy… i knew the answer from a freaking videogame :(.</p>
<p>harbringer? I learned the word in 7th grade.</p>
<p>^ wow…you’re talented</p>
<p><em>sarcasm</em></p>
<p>I thought the qotd today was a good sat question, definately more on the medium-hard range. Remember, many people on here think these questions are too easy to be on the SAT, but if you have mind fatigue like me, then all of these simple CR questions seem medium-hard once you’re into 7 sections of the SAT. Plus if you think these questions are too easy, then that just means you know more than you think and you will have a better chance at a higher score!</p>
<p>glucose I think your talented for picking the screenname “glucose101” it shows a lot about your personality.</p>
<p>thanks…I like the play on words of it.</p>
<p>i took a practice test last week and it had a double passage on psycology or something. It confuzzled me so much that i missed like 6 in that sections. otherwise i do pretty decently on cr</p>
<p>Gyros321, what was the name of the videogame?
Is it an RPG similar to Final Fantasy?</p>
<p>it shouldnt be hard for american kids…but as a second language…omg…it is harder than any other subjects…</p>
<p>No warcraft III lol. Some guy is called a harbringer or w/e and he tells the future.</p>
<p>dota suxors</p>
<p>omg… i remember dota… i really havnt played for such a long time.</p>
<p>I remember “premonition” from a ship in Star Trek Armada named the USS Premonition. The USS Premonition went back in time to warn the Federation of the Borg’s future attack which allowed the Borg to assimilate Sector 001(Earth).</p>
<p>counter-strike > all</p>
<p>CR QoTD don’t require you to read passages to answer questions, I don’t think. So IMO it’s easier than the real CR section since the length of the passages make everything longer and perhaps attention tends to drift off by then.</p>
