Idk… I’ve gotten 36 both times but only 720 on SAT CR. I just read the passage first, underline important things. That helps a ton with remembering and locating information. Then I look at the questions overall and see which I can answer without looking back. Then go back to important information which, with the underlines, is easy to find. You just have to take it slow and relax. Getting anxious or trying to hurry just makes you forget what you read and misunderstand questions. Try to read through it once and make sure you’re focused… it’ll help you understand it better and you’ll be fine.

Oh, and it’s not at all like the SAT. It’s not so much how well you can infer things or understand tone as much as it is recalling details. Anyone can do well on it if they’re really relaxed and paying close attention. Try to underline and make sure you aren’t just blowing through the passage, it really helps… and have faith in your abilities, for real.
