<p>by the looks of it most of you guys/gals (adi, hello, sucharita, oh laila) must’ve had kickass sat scores. the CR section is seriously fcking my total score. today i took a practice college board test and got a 2170, math 800, wrt 780…but my CR was an abysmal 600…so u guys got any tips on who to improve my ****ty cr score…</p>
<p>thnks</p>
<p>Wow 780 writing(how dyu know that?). You can improve your CR only through practice. When you’re reading the passages, make your own quick notes on the side, and underline stuff that you feel demonstrates the attitude of the writer and tone and theme and stuff.</p>
<p>thanks havaldaar…for writing i basically studied the most common errors such as parallelism, subject verb agreement…etc…my essay wasnt that great…my dad graded it and mind you, his grading is brutal, he gave me a 4.5 for the essay…i got only 3 wrong on the MC…so i got a 780…I used the sparknotes new sat prep book and found it really helpful for the writing section…they do a good job of explaining things…other than that i did a few practice questions from an old SAT II Writing book i had… </p>
<p>btw, on the CR is it time consuming to take notes and stuff or is it not?</p>
<p>Yes I would say taking notes on CR is very time consuming and pretty unecessary. Why bother to take notes on something which you will forget completely the minute you move on to the next section? That time can be more usefully spent on checking your answers.</p>
<p>I don’t know about other people, but this method worked for me. I skimmed through the passage to get an approximate idea of what it said (I took 30-35s for this), skimmed through the questions to get an idea of what they say, then read each question individually, looking back at the passage for the answers and underlining them as I found them. I rarely had to read the whole passage again the second time, usually the answers jumped right out. Reading the passage correctly first time round was really useful since I got a pretty good idea of the tone and mood that the writer was trying to project.</p>
<p>My friends didn’t like my method too much though :p</p>
<p>
SINGLE! 
though it’s a 2 room flat kinda thing, with a shared bathroom. so I’ll have a flatmate rather than a roommate. who it is, I dont have the foggiest idea.
and talk about AC… the rooms need HEATED instead.</p>
