<p>Have you read through silverturtle’s guide from the pinned topic? If not, I’d start there. Another great strategy is from noitaraprep, which you can read about here <a href=“Noitaraperp's Critical Reading Method: How to Attack the SAT Critical Reading Section Effectively”>http://criticalreadingmethod.blogspot.com/2012/03/how-to-attack-sat-critical-reading.html</a>. The core idea is that every answer must be justifiably correct. If you can’t support it from the reading, it is wrong. Drill this into your head and the CR section gets way easier. </p>
