<p>Im desperate to get my CR score up, and im just wondering if reading the passages of the CR reading sections daily would help? I already came across these passages in old practice tests, but would reading it again and seeing what CB considers correct help?</p>
<p>Yes. After ~15 practice tests, spotting wrong answers will become second nature.</p>
<p>ahh i see, thanks for the advice, ive done 5 so far…gonna do 2 practice test a week. how much did your score improve after 15 practice test? my scores been going down since i started timing, but im starting to recognize CB questions</p>
<p>ive taken 21 practice tests and my passage based reading score increased to getting only two fewer wrong…and i went over everything i got wrong too.</p>
<p>When you mean “reading CR passages”, do you mean doing them over, looking at the answers while reading the passage and its questions, or just… reading it?</p>
<p>Just reading the passages and understanding it and see how CB sets up the questions.</p>
<p>Does it help that much? Do you try and come up with questions when reading the passage?</p>
<p>yeah would reading the passages while looking at the answers help? I tried reading other books but, other books are easy to understand while the sat passages are not</p>
<p>Nothing will help as much as solving CR passages regularly. Don’t just read them. </p>
<p>Time yourself, read the passage, make notes, answer the questions based on them and see how many you get wrong. On the ones you get wrong, read the explanation given and remember what mistake you made.</p>
<p>Do this daily for 2 weeks straight and your CR skills will improve drastically.</p>
<p>Yeah, but what if some of us are as lazy as garfield?</p>
<p>Ha, good one. The solution to that is… umm, there is no sure-fire remedy to laziness. What you’ve got to realize is that this test is important for your future. What time you spend studying for it now will reap rewards exponentially later.</p>
<p>Above all else, try to *enjoy studying and practicing for this. I mean, I tried to have fun with my preparation for this test and as a result, time flew whenever I sat down with my Kaplan book. Think about it… it’s just correcting errors in sentences, or solving simple equations… or filling the blanks, right? Enjoy it!</p>
<p>And, if nothing else, what I suggested would barely take more than 20 minutes a day. Just 1 passage, 6-8 questions and reading the answers’ explanations. That’s it. Do that and go watch all the TV you want or play as much as you want.</p>
<p>Ahh lazygarlfield thank you! i will do that, i like the method you bestowed upon me.and idk what r3d3mpi0n is talking about. but i will do that everyday from now on until i get to the CR score i desire.</p>
