Doing so worked for me. Flashcards are a good idea too, however. If you enjoy being quizzed, you are free to use ePrep's free WordSmith Challenge. You can access the WordSmith Challenge from ePrep's home page. Good luck. Matt,

Thanks for the great advice. I have to take the SAT in a month,
what is a good way to study words, just look at them a lot, or
flashcards, or what?

Thanks

I usually exaggerate the opinions or viewpoints to better understand the differences between author 1 and author 2. This usually results in me having an easier time with the questions. Also, read the question prompts very carefully. I think the most confusing prompts are found in the two-passage sections. Give my advice a try and let me know how it goes. Matt,

Are there any methods to understand those? Karl,

I am sure you can do well on the CR. I suggest you select the "Reading" category in the right navigation column of ePrep's blog site. It will pull up a bunch of blogs on CR. Good luck. Please do not hesitate to post follow-up questions, if you have any. Hemin12,

I have a great problem cracking Critical Reading. Its my first time I am appearing for SAT. So my nerves are high. But, I want to ace the test. Practice tests suggest that my maths isn't bad(I have scored 800 twice). Regarding Writing Section, its around 650+. but my CR is way too low around, 550. Please help. Karl,

Because it is largely rule-based, practicing will help you boost your score. As far as the Critical Reading section goes, vocabulary will go a long way in helping you increase your score. Keep up the vocabulary building; it WILL make a difference. I don't typically promote ePrep study programs on this blog site, but you may want to seriously consider using one of our programs to help you prepare. Finally, sorry for the delay in responding. I was away at a conference for a few days. Colette,
