I"M BAD at CR

I’m not telling you not to read (double negative?), but it definitely helps to familiarize yourself with test questions. The CR section was my worst section too, but by taking practice tests, I was able to improve my score quite a bit (on the Oct. administration I got a 730, which was my highest section). Make sure you understand the concept that the answer MUST restate a portion of the passage. After some time you will be able to “feel” what the right answer is.

Also, keep in mind that the curve for CR is relatively lenient. I know a lot of people say study vocab, but you can still get an 800 while missing the hardest vocab question from every section. This is my personal opinion, but I’d say not to worry to much about the sentence completions and to focus more on the passage based questions.
