<p>I’ve taken 9 SAT tests(blue book) and I haven’t still reached 700 in critical reading.</p>
<p>Why! help me!
I keep getting 690, 680, 670, etc… Is this my limit? T.T</p>
<p>It’s as if I have an asymptote that prevents me from entering the 700 zone…</p>
<p>You have to isolate the kinds of problems that you keep getting wrong and go from there, otherwise you are just wasting your time and your study material by doing entire sections. Most of the CR section requires a lot of reasoning, which doesn’t really require much repetition or practice. If you keep doing entire CR sections you will choke up at specific points, like if you do well on the vocab. but not in the passage-based questions, you may breeze through the beginning of the section and feel intimidated immediately afterward (when you have to take on like 5 passages in a row).</p>
<p>There’s no such thing as a limit. There’s only a time where you need to change how you study.</p>
<p>I had the exact same problem, I was stuck at around 670 on practice tests. then I went in last year, took the test, and ended up with a 740. Sometime you just end up concentrating much more when you’re taking the actual test.
I think there’s a really good CR tips featured thread, too.
the only other thing you can do [longterm] is read a tonnn. even though it sounds like it’s common sense, it really works. good luck :]</p>
<p>[edit] oh, and if this makes you feel any better…I took one last practice test last thursday before taking the actual test on saturday. I got a 620 [which majorly freaked me out]. I came out of the SAT on saturday expecting a 770+. so, you never know :]</p>
