Suggestions on improving SAT score crit reading section?

Question

I have around a 600 on crit reading but i need a little more, are there any ways to improve?

Answer 1

Occasionally review vocab...but I mostly tell people to just take as many practice tests as possible...don't procrastinate. Just think about it: the majority of the questions are reading passages related questions--so worry about those more than vocab...chances are you already know half of the fill-in-the-blank questions in the beginning. But also, just because c.r. is your weakest part, don't neglect the math or writing sections. Even though a lot of schools take the highest score per section, some still only take the total score into consideration...it just varies. You don't want to bomb the other two sections just to raise your c.r. score 50 points or so. Get the Kaplan comprehensive book and the 12 practice tests book. They help break the section down in detail and give you the practice you need.

Hope this helps.

Read a lot of books. If you come across a word you dont know, look it up, and put it on a flashcard. Every night, review your flashcards. This will help you.

Answer 3

Study vocabulary, get one of the SAT books and use it for a guide. Reading is a long term process, so vocab and practice tests are everything at this point.
