the only practice test book(s) i used were BB1 and BB2. i average pretty high on CR though keep in mind i’ve been a voracious reader for my entire life. memorize TONS of vocab words. i hear direct hits works well, however, im good with vocab since whenever i encounter a word i dont know (i.e. when i read classic lit…which you should do too) i look it up. get familiar with the patterns of the test. EVERY answer is supported by the passage! a lot of people i know LOVE to OVERanalyze the passages…DONT do that. i repeat do NOT do that. analyze but do not overanalyze. often times it actually is the most simple answer. good luck.
