Well if you don’t speak or understand English well, I wouldn’t necessarily say you have a low IQ because you have a low CR score.

The general pattern seems to be high IQ scores = high critical reading scores. Low IQ scores = low critical reading scores/no major score improvements.

Now sure a tryhard could study huge lists of words and bump up their score a decent amount, but most people who score in the 800’s don’t do this.

The countless number of threads with overachievers going through 2-3 different practice books for cr, memorizing huge lists of words, and trying out various strategies to get around their lack of comprehension seem to suggest that the correlation between critical reading scores and IQ scores is fairly high.

Again, I feel it is a glass ceiling used by the collegeboard to limit certain ethnicities in the admissions process. They’re favoring those with higher IQs to those who work harder. Seems unfair.
