<p>I took a practice test today and got a 2230-2400, but I was wondering if you guys could get me a more specific score. I missed 1 CR, 2 Math, and 2 Writing. Also, I got a 5 on the essay.
Thanks in advance!</p>
<p>Are you saying your essay score was a 5 out of 12 or 5 out of 6? </p>
<p>1) 800 CR 760 Math 770 Writing (690 if your essay was 5/12)</p>
<p>5/6 … (10char)</p>

What book were you using to take the exam?
Any tips for CR, W, and M?</p>
<p>Thank you!</p>
<p>Yeah man, give us some tips dude!</p>
<p>Oh wait, JK. The essay score was used from a former test because I didnt have time to fill out the CB online course answer sheet. I actually got a 6, (12/12) after I took the time to type it out. It’s here if you guys want to see it:
Prompt: Is the world changing for the better?</p>
<p>Response:
While it is true that technological advancements have brought the world together and have made our lives much easier, humans haven’t changed very much at all. Today, human needs still revolve around the basics of food, shelter, water, entertainment, etc., much as our ancestors did thousands of years ago. And while it is true that philosophy and sociology have taken us to greater levels of understandings of the world, we still have not answered the basic questions of “who are we?” and “What is our purpose?”. Finally, as science runs its endless course to make our lives easier and smoother, every technological breakthrough has be marred by an equally devistating setback. </p>
<p>Ever since human civilization first formed in Egypt, the Fertile Cresent, the Yellow River Valley, and the Indian subcontinent, man’s main goals in life were to be able to live with plenty of food and drink, a happy family, and games to entertain him. As society grew, man experimented with diffent styles of government such as democracy, tyranny, or monarchy, among others. Occasionally, one settlement fought with another settlement for land, or other resources. One would think that after four thousand years, man would have evolved enough to adapt in a United World, or would have at least reached a consensus on the best form of government. Sadly, it is not the case. Today, while we have more “sophistication”, nothing has changes much. We still have wars raging around the globe, people are still starving to death, and there are still different forms of governments in the world. Despite being more advanced technologically, the human condition hasn’t improved much, if at all. </p>
<p>Despite new miracles and insights in the world of science, it seems that every scientic advancement man achieves is connected to a horrible side effect. When Henry Ford first mass produced the combustable engine car, known as the Model T, it became an intsant hit, with eveyone wanting one. However, no one back then understood the consequences of their actions. Today, we are a world obsessed with cars, and with that, a dependency on oil. This dependency has caused massive polution of the atmosphere as well as many wars resulting in millions dead over control of oil. Indeed, technological improvements takes man a step foreward, but the side effects forces man to take a step back, into his original position. </p>
<p>All in all, the changing world has not resulted in the improvement of society and humanity as a whole. While some groups have prospered under human advancements, other lave suffered. Therefore, the world is not changing for the better as man is not much</p>

For me, it was all about practice. I took the PR course over this summer, but found it pretty useless. The only good part were the prep books. I combined the PR workbook with the PR 11 tests and the BB and just did a lot of problems. Once I took around 10 tests, I pretty much got the hang of the types of questions and the procedure to solve them. If you take enough practice tests, you will begin to see similarities between tests and you can just answer questions right away. The only problem I had with that strategy was that I got cocky and became careless. A method to use for SC questions was that whenever I finished a section, I would go back and write all the words I didnt know on flashcards. Then I would review all the words a few times everyday. It also helps if you try to make sentences to remember the words. And finally, only do a few full length tests and spend the most of your time just taking it by sections. </p>
<p>Whew! That was longer than I had planned. Well, thanks for reading and I hope this helps you guys.</p>
<p>ps Maybe my method will become so popular that it can compete with xiggi’s method. :)</p>
<p>That’s pretty much what I do, taking a section at a time, and making flashcards and everything.</p>
