How can i improve my sat critical reading?
PennDreamer – Raising CR isn’t easy. Believe me I am trying. Here are some strategies that seem to be working for me: 1. Check out Grammatix – they have a very good analysis of the types of wrong answers that appear in CR questions. For example, some answers are half right and half wrong. This will help you with process of elimination. 2. Opinions really vary on how to crack a critical reading passage. Some have success with the conventional approach of reading the passage and then answering the questions. Others say read the questions and then read the passage. And still others say read the first paragraph, the first sentence in each paragraph and the last paragraph. I have been experimenting with a new approach that seems to be working. I read the first paragraph and then I read the first paragraph questions. Then I read the second paragraph and the second paragraph questions and so on. I do the main idea and general passage questions last. The bottom line – see which strategy works
