<p>Please Answer Please Tell Me Your Method !!!</p>
<p>I got 700 on CR and Lit. People say you should be well read to do well but I barely read outside of the summer. It tests your logic and ability to analyze so really you should just practice. I consider myself to be a math person and I scored higher on the CR lolz.</p>
<p>I got a 680 and all I did was skim the passages for what I needed. Bad idea, though, as I could have gotten 700+ if I’d actually read the passages.</p>
<p>i barely ever read and i got a 670 first time… most of it is simple reading comprehension, and then i guess you need to be a little lucky with the vocabulary and hope you know it.</p>
<p>The reading one i thought was pretty easy, the questions are pretty basic. Just look for the answer that makes the most sense. I read the passage, i suggest that, and then went back as each question asked for a specific part. The worst part was the vocab, guarantee all the 10 i got wrong was from there.</p>
<p>i make mental notes while reading or jot some key points down next to each paragraph. yes, it does eat up time, but its what works for me. cr is my worst section adn so far, thats the most effective means of working thru the section.</p>
<p>i got a 760 on the CR in March- my advice is be QUITE methodical when reading hte passage, get INVOLVED -> underline key passages and ALWAYS refer back to the passage when answering questions</p>
<p>good luck!</p>
<p>i got an 800. i read the entire article first, then refer back for questions if i need to, but usually after reading through it carefully one time, i can answer most questions.</p>
<p>U people are geniuses. How did you manage the vocab? What list did u memorize off of?</p>
<p>i didn’t memorize any list, i just read a lot and am familiar with enough words that i could figure out the vocab questions. i would never have the patience to memorize a huge list of vocab</p>
<p>I didn’t use any lists… it’s really a lot about elimination and timing. on the passage questions don’t spend forever reading, just read as much as you need. really the best thing you can do is a lot of reading for a while before the test.
I had a 740.</p>
<p>well i got a 640…not exceptionally high but it was higher than what i expected. anyway…i memorized a lot of vocabs and i can answer most of the sentence completions…so i think taking a couple minutes memorizing vocabs everyday will help…
as for the reading passages, i find it helpful to read one paragraph at a time and then go to the question…</p>
<p>like theveganactress, i think a lot of reading will enhance your grade the most.
i took APUSH this year and we had to do tons of reading…i have no doubt that it has increased my reading pace and my overall reading skills.</p>
<p>good luck!</p>
<p>my max is 660 and im hoping to get 680…
yeah reading is the toughest for me i got a 700 in math
but i suck at the sats so…</p>
<p>I recieved a 710, below par given my scoring on CB practice exams, mainly because I was beaten up by the last passage. I read around the lines for the line questions, and read the passage afterwards for the general pricture questions. The vocabulary was easy simply because I used such words in normal, daily speech.
I have never picked up a book voluntarily since the fourth grade, but have had required vocabulary practice in English classes as well as exposure to literature from all times.</p>
<p>I took the SAT yesterday so i don’t know how I did but I did take the PSAT 2 1/2 months ago and scored a 580. I don’t read, usually the person who sparknotes, I just crossed out answers i knew werent true untill i got it down to two or one answers left. Just remember whichever answer sounds best since many can fit. I could probably score a 620 or so if I finish the sctions, i seem to be a little slow and don’t do the last 3 or 4 questions. I guess that comes to getting used to taking tests.</p>
<p>i got a 700. Make sure u know common vocab (like the 250 word list on Sparknotes) and just make sure the answer could be supported the passage.</p>
