sixstringsrocker is right. The only trick to doing well in critical reading is: being good at critical reading. This is not a cliche`. CR is really supposed to be the test of reading skills you have acquired over the period of your life. You may not be able hack your way into performing well without really knowing how to read. That’s okay. Don’t give in. Realize that it is an important skill to have and start by reading. Read everything, so that you come across a variety of “mental models”. Some of these will be difficult to grasp, but with practice you will have to be able to absorb astutely. You do not have to have just a good CR score to get into college, but you will regret not having a good CR skill in the long run if you never develop it, or try to find your way around it. But wait…your may never regret for the very lack of the skill…
