What I do is if I don’t know how to solve a problem the moment I read it, I draw a star or circle the question number and move on. And then after I finish, I go back to finish those questions up.

To improve CR, studying vocab is really helpful and can be done in a few days (if vocab is the reason you’re scoring low). If it’s becase you’re running out of time because of the long passages, experiment with different strategies (e.g. skimming the passage, then going back to read more closely as you answer the questions, or reading the passage carefully, then answering the questions (which I wouldn’t recommend, because it makes it easier to make careless mistakes), or reading the questions first, and then looking for the answers in the passage). See what method works best for you.

For math, I would recommend studying your weaker areas (I think the Blue Book says what area each question tests) and focussing on studying that. There’s no reason to study geometry, if ratios are your weakness. And make sure you read the questions carefully and avoid stupid mistakes.
