Here are some of the tips I thought helped me with little studying on the CR (they helped me probably b/c I am a very Math, rule-based, type learner)


avoid extremes- pick the answer that is not indifferent for tone, but not too extreme
don’t be overly literal
don’t pick an answer just because you remember something similar in the passage
remember that you should always be able to point out specific evidence from the passage to back up your anwer


(also, I noticed that the inference questions are less inference and more just going back to the passage and finding what is actually said- they can’t ask you to infer too deeply or whatever b/c kids would get diff. answers and complain)

Hope this helps, but I am no expert, esp. on CR.

Sidenote-
Still hoping for input for if I should retake a 2250- if I think I may get 40 better in Math, but worse in CR. Any input would be appreciated.
