<p>Alright, I got a 700 in CR, and I honestly believe that one of the primary reasons was the music I listened to - Neutral Milk Hotel, The Smiths, The Mountain Goats, Joanna Newmson, etc. I have a tendency to get really frustrated when listening to music if I don’t understand what the singer is saying, so I usually read the lyrics and try to infer and interpret. If you’re familiar with any of these artists, you’ll know that their lyrics transcend any CR passage :). But yeah, that REALLY helped me. Also, looking up unfamiliar words in songs is good.</p>
<p>It may seem a bit trivial, and an even a somewhat pretentious recommendation, but you guys should give it a try. Especially if you’re an avid music fan like me. :)</p>
