I would do a bunch of Critical Reading passages, take it slow, and figure out what why certain answers are such.
You'll be better at it gradually. Just remember, one wrong word, and the whole answer is wrong.
Also, don't try to look for the right answer. Look for the wrong ones, and eliminate them. |

cooliegirly, imagine that you've taken the SAT in your language (that means all hateful and longwinded passages are written in your mother tongue). You score a 500-550. Do you think you are a great writer??? Remember that you are applying to an American university and you want to study humanities. Therefore, your English must be adequate. To improve, i think the best way is to memorize 3500 words in Barrons' list. You can also learn words by reading "abstruse" newspapers like NY Times, New Yorker and much more! |

Yes... look at www.freevocabulary.com
There is a link there to d/l the words to your TI calculator for free as opposed to sites that charge $10 or more for "common hot words" lists. |

Very funny! that is if you can find it. It wasn't the case for me. I borrowed the all new Barron's book from my kind math teacher. I'm not saying this too denounce anyone but isn't downloading words to your TI calculator cheating--if you bring and use that calculator at the test center. If I had known this before, I would have done it myself. I'm certain I wouldn't get caught. Yet looking up words would greatly slow me down. Anyways study as many words as you can from the list. Although I haven't succeeded myself--I tried but gave up--I'm certain some "freaks" did. Good job you who have done so; how I envy you. |
