How to Study for SAT Critical Reading. Many people find the passage-based questions to be the most difficult portion of the exam.
And in a sense, Critical Reading is the most difficult section of the exam to study for, and certainly the least possible to cram for. Unlike Math and (multiple choice) Writing, which are based on your understanding of and ability to apply a finite number of rules, Critical Reading tests your ability to make inferences and draw conclusions based on information not explicitly stated in a text. This point cannot be stressed enough: the SAT does not simply test your ability to find bits of factual information in a passage, but rather your ability to understand how the structure of a text and the language that the author uses contribute to its meaning.
