My super detailed approach to every single question of CR

<p>CR requires you to:</p>

<ul>
<li>Understand the meaning of the word in the provided context;</li>
<li>Determine author’s intentions/purpose;</li>
<li>Get the main idea of the passage, paragraph or a sentence;</li>
<li>Understand the purpose of mentioning something;</li>
<li>Be able to understand when something is said in an unconventional wording or when something is restated using different words;</li>
<li>Use the provided evidence wisely without making false assumptions/inferring something that wasn’t stated.</li>
</ul>

<p>What SAT asks of you is to be a good Judge. Your mindset should be like this: I can only use the evidence given and cannot alter any of the facts and I cannot make my own assumptions. The text is your guide.
You must be a Judge here. Good Judge’s mind is devoid of any false judgement and assumptions; he only uses the facts that are given. He has to be fair. He must perform his duty well or an innocent person will end up locked in jail or worse - sentenced to death. So in Critical Reading section be the Judge and perform your duty well because your future is at stake here. Be fair to the provided information. Do not twist the facts in your mind, do not add anything. You only use what you have. Only stated facts are real. Anything that is not stated doesn’t exist.</p>

<p>Critical Reading tests your ability to think critically. Critical Thinking is a very valuable quality that improves the quality of your life. Learn to think critically for your own benefit, not only for SAT.</p>
