How I got an 800 on the SAT Critical Reading (A Story and Guide)

Hi! I would like to share my story about mastering the SAT Critical Reading section to help others achieve a great score on the CR. There are many great guides on College Confidential and I have learned much from them, so not all of this information will be new. However, there is much I have to say that I feel others can benefit from so I will begin. The story begins with the second paragraph and continues to the end of the third; the guide begins at the beginning of the fourth paragraph.

嗨!我在這里想通過分享自己奮戰(zhàn)SAT閱讀的故事來幫助大家在CR上取得理想的分?jǐn)?shù).college confidential上有許多的引導(dǎo)讓我受益匪淺,所以我的經(jīng)驗可能不是最新的.然而,我覺得這篇文章能夠給大家?guī)韼椭?下面我就開始我的分享.故 事發(fā)布在2,3大段,而我的經(jīng)驗從第四段開始.

It started with the PSAT in my sophomore year of high school. I had eagerly taken it to see how much I would have to study for the junior PSAT to earn National Merit Semifinalist recognition. Scores arrived back in December and I opened the paper to find out that I had scored a 203 composite with a 60 CR. I was worried over this score and if I would be able to even improve it at all. Thankfully, I was allowed to focus more on my schoolwork throughout sophomore year and the topic of SAT did not come up until summer…My parents forced me to take an SAT prep class but my Critical Reading section remained in the low 600s, not improving at all. It was when I first entered the realm of College Confidential that I realized the vast abundance of SAT preparation materials I had available. I quickly ordered a copy of the Official SAT Study Guide and prepared to use the methods online to score 700+ on the CR.

我的故事得從高中二年級的PSAT說起.我之所以急切地參加這個是為了看看自己還要為獲得國家優(yōu)秀青年獎做多少努力.12月剛出分,我打開成績 單發(fā)現(xiàn)自己取得了203的總分,在閱讀部分只有60.我對自己的成績非常也擔(dān)心自己是否能夠再取得進(jìn)步.謝天謝地，第二年我在我的功課上更加的專注而 SAT直到夏天才進(jìn)入我的計劃。在父母的強(qiáng)迫下，我上了SAT的準(zhǔn)備課程但是我的閱讀部分的分?jǐn)?shù)一直停留在600出頭，沒有很大的提高。就是在這個時候我 踏入了college confidential的大門，并意識到了我其實擁有非常豐富的SAT備考材料。我迅速地預(yù)訂了一本SAT og并準(zhǔn)備用網(wǎng)站上的方法來沖擊700+的高分。

Once I had received the famed Blue Book, I took timed sections of the Critical Reading to gauge my score. I was ecstatic to find that I was already starting to improve after taking a few practice sections of critical reading. I utilized strategies from CC such as underlining sentences from the passages as shown in the questions asked. I tried to complete the questions as quickly and accurately as I could so I would have more time on the real SAT. I was improving, but I was stuck in the high 600s to low 700s range, becoming more and more frustrated with my score. I was sometimes extremely knowledgeable about all of the vocabulary words on the practice SAT, while at other times I was clueless with 5 or more vocabulary words on another practice SAT. Time flew by…I had been studying for 2 months and the October 9 SAT was just a few weeks away. I panicked; I had not been able to raise my CR score much since getting it to the low 700s range. I was wondering why the famed Critical Reading strategies on College Confidential were not helping me as much as I thought they should. In the end, however, I realized that the best strategy would not be a specific one-size-fits-all strategy, but a blend of favorite strategies to merge into a personal strategy. At the end of this practice with my new, personal strategy, I was more confident going into the real SAT and I finished off my SAT preparation with an 800 on the Critical Reading section.

trategy that is the best for you.我一拿到這本著名的藍(lán)皮書，并用幾個計時的部分對自己進(jìn)行了估分。我驚喜地發(fā)現(xiàn)在做了幾個部分的閱讀之后我已經(jīng)開始提高了。我使用了CC上的方 法，諸如在問題所對應(yīng)的句子下劃線。我嘗試著用最大的速度和最大的準(zhǔn)確率去做題以便能在真實考試中有更充裕的時間。的確我在不停地進(jìn)步，但是仍然卡在了 700分上下，對于我的分?jǐn)?shù)，我變得越來越沮喪。有時候我認(rèn)識一套SAT練習(xí)題上的所有詞匯，但有時我卻會遇到5個或者5個以上的生詞。時間飛逝，我已經(jīng) 學(xué)習(xí)了有兩個月有余，而且距離10月9號的考試只有幾個學(xué)期里。我感到十分恐慌，自從我進(jìn)入700出頭這個分?jǐn)?shù)段以后，我就一直沒能再提高我的閱讀分?jǐn)?shù) 了。我納悶為什么這么著名的批判性閱讀方法沒有起到我期望的效果?？墒亲罱K，我意識到最好的閱讀方法不是所謂的一成不變的，而是許多拿手的方法組合在一起 形成的。最終憑借著這種我個人研究出的萬能的閱讀方法，我自己地走進(jìn)了考場并在閱讀部分取得了800分的滿分成績。

Now for the technical matters of how I improved my SAT score. I bought the Official SAT Study Guide and did about 7 of the practice tests from there. The number of practice tests taken will vary from person to person, but one will usually have to do a good number of practice tests to achieve a high score on Critical Reading and other sections. Also, just a reminder, but remember that no one strategy will work for everyone! If this strategy doesn’t work for you, try another one until you develop your own personal s現(xiàn)在講講我去的SAT高分的技巧吧。我買了OG并做了其中的7套測試題。做測試題的數(shù)量可以因人而異，但是一個人想要在sat中取得高分必須做一定量的 練習(xí)題。此外，一個小小的提醒，沒有萬能的方法。如果一種方法不適合你，嘗試著另外一種吧，直到你擁有適合你自己的一套。

1) I took one or two practice sections of CR from the Blue Book daily. I timed these to simulate the real testing situation since one may get nervous on the real day and use up more time on the questions.

1)我每天從OG中抽取一到兩個section的閱讀。我計時來模擬真實考試的情景，因為人常常會在真實考試時感到緊張，從而在一個問題上花比平時更多的時間。

2) I looked over my correct and wrong answers and tried to rationalize why the correct answer is correct for my wrong answers. After I did this I would then check the official explanations provided by College Board on their website.

2)我仔細(xì)回看了我做對和做錯的選項，并嘗試去弄清為什么正確的選項在我的錯題中是符合的。這之后，我會去官網(wǎng)上查看官方給出的解釋。

3) For the Sentence Completions, I did NOT memorize a lot of vocabulary from Direct Hits or any other book, but I did learn the vocabulary that I did not know on the practice SATs from the Blue Book. I also learned strategies to determine the correct answer for the sentence completions. For example, I would look to see if the definition of a word was in the sentence, or if the sentence wanted words that were similar or contrasting by watching out for key words such as “although”, “however,” “l(fā)ike”, etc. However, if you are missing several words on the sentence completions, it would be beneficial to learn more words than just those available on the Official SAT Study Guide. This depends on how much time you have to study for the SAT.

3)對于句子填空部分，我并沒有在Direct Hits或者其他書中背很多單詞,但是我在做OG的SAT練習(xí)當(dāng)中確實掌握了許多單詞.例如,我會去看看單詞在句子中是否體現(xiàn)了它的意思,或者句子想要通 過“although”,“however”,“l(fā)ike”這樣的詞體現(xiàn)出它的近義詞和反義詞.然而,如果你總是在句子填空中出錯,在OG伴侶中背一些單 詞會對你有所幫助.這都取決于你在sat上花的時間.

4) For the Reading Comprehension, I read the passage first if it was short and then looked at the questions, and I read the questions first for line numbers if the passage was long. I always read the short summary in the beginning of the passage to get some background information about the topic and what I should be reading about.

4)至于閱讀理解題,碰到短文章, 我會先讀全文再看題目.如果是長文章,我會根據(jù)行數(shù)提示來讀.我總是會游覽文章開頭的簡介,來了解文章的背景信息和內(nèi)容.

5) For short passages, I just sped through the text and answered the questions with the text, choosing the answer directly supported by the text.

5)對于短文章,我只是瀏覽全文,根據(jù)上下文答題,并選擇答案.

6) For longer passages, I looked forward to the questions to see if line numbers were mentioned. For the questions that did mention lines, I made sure to go back in the passage to bracket the line numbers. Doing this let me read the passage up to that certain part and look to the question to see if I could answer the question with the information I had just read.

6)對于長一點(diǎn)的文章,我提前看那些題目中提到行數(shù)的問題.對于這些提到行數(shù)的問題,我回到原文中,用括號標(biāo)出這些行數(shù).這樣做有助于讓我有重點(diǎn)地閱讀文章,然后帶著這些我所讀到的信息去回答問題.

7) For the main idea and big picture questions, I answered those after reading the whole passage or paragraph, depending on if the question was asking about the overall passage or a paragraph.

7)對于那些文章主旨題,我會根據(jù)它們對應(yīng)的全文或者段落,在讀完整段文章或者段落后回答它們.

8) I made sure to predict an answer for the question by using the information solely in the passage. Please keep out your personal biases when answering the questions. Even if you don’t agree with the viewpoint of the author, just accept it as if it is the given truth.

8)我確定自己用原文中的信息來回答問題.在回答問題是請拋開你們腦中的偏見.即使你并不贊同作者的觀點(diǎn),那就把它們當(dāng)成一種假設(shè)的真理去接受.

9) Lastly, I played devil’s advocate a lot on these questions. When I narrowed the question answers down to 2, I would ask myself, “Why is this answer choice clearly WRONG?” I looked directly into the passage and if there was no support at all for the answer choice, I would eliminate it. Doing this helped me improve from the low 700s to the high 700s. Earlier on, I had been stuck between two answer choices and had chosen the one that I had “felt” was better. This is wrong. If the answer choice is not directly supported in the passage, it is incorrect.

9)最近,我總是在做這些題的時候唱反調(diào).當(dāng)我把問題的答案排除到兩個的時候,我會問自己,“為什么這些錯誤的選項是錯誤的呢?”我直接閱讀全 文,如果沒有文章中的信息進(jìn)行支持,我就會排除這個選項.這種方法是我從700分出頭提高到了接近800.從前,我總是糾結(jié)于兩個選項,然后選擇一個我認(rèn) 為更好一點(diǎn)的選項.但這樣做是錯的.如果問題中的選項并沒有被文章直接支持,那么它就是錯的.

10) With all that being said, time management is a crucial part of this. The sentence completions should take less time (30 seconds or less) so you have more time to read the passages and answer those questions. Also, I like to bubble in my answers in my answer sheet as I go along, but others like to answer all the questions and then bubble the answers in the answer sheet. I think that bubbling in the answers as you go along is better so you don’t run out of time while bubbling in the answers in the last-minute frenzy, but this is up to you.

10)綜上所述,時間分配是十分重要的.句子填空應(yīng)該占用更少的時間(30秒或者更少),這樣你就有更多時間去應(yīng)付文章閱讀和那些問題.此外, 我喜歡一邊回答問題一邊涂答題卡,但是其他人喜歡回答完所有問題之后再去涂答題卡.我認(rèn)為邊答題邊涂答題卡更好,因為這樣你就不用在最后一分鐘急急忙忙地 去涂卡,但是用不用這種方法取決于你自己.

11) Overall, my best piece of advice that I can give you is to read this strategy, try it, and merge it or adapt it if it doesn’t work out the best way for you. No strategy can fit all people, so the best strategy in the end will be your own developed strategy.

11)總之,我能給的最大的建議就是讓你了解我的方法,去嘗試,與你自己結(jié)合,或者適應(yīng)(如果這對你來說不是最好的方法)沒有一種方法適合所有的人,所以最好的方法最終是你自己創(chuàng)造的.

With all of this being said, I wish you luck on the SAT. Do not fret if your scores don’t seem to improve at all. I was doing the Blue Book’s practice SATs and my Critical Reading scores were staying around 700. Somehow it just “clicked” after another test and I started understanding the reading comprehension questions a lot more and answering them more confidently and accurately. As long as you practice you will improve eventually.

綜上所述,我希望大家在SAT考試中好運(yùn).如果你的分?jǐn)?shù)看上去提不高,請不要?dú)鈵?我在做SAT OG的過程中，我的SAT閱讀分?jǐn)?shù)始終徘徊在700上下，不知怎么的在一次練習(xí)后我突然開竅，我開始更加深入地了解SAT的出題，更有信心，更準(zhǔn)確地回答 它們。最終一句話，熟能生巧。
