<p>You will find from reading different threads out here that it is very difficult to raise your CR in a short period of time. It is MUCH easier to study for math and improve those scores. That is one reason you are not getting a lot of advice… The good news is that you are finding out now you need to kick up your reading time so you have better skills in this area when you most need it for college admissions. One of my kids scored a 740 in CR in 8th grade – not telling you that to make you feel bad, but to show you how much being a reader can help.</p>
