1.DO you best not read the whole passage

dictates the Grammatix.
And i agree. WHen i read the passage and when i dont read the passage, i score the same. The difference is that when i dont read it, i end up having 10 minutes left over to check my work. So that boosts my score on average by 20- 30 points for CR. ( i started out high)

The SAT is a REASONING test. It doesnt test your ability to read- they do that in kindergarden. It is also STANDARDIZED. CR should stand for critical reasoning.

If you disagree, talk to Mike Barret. Its his book, his method. It works.
