A Brief Note about the SAT Test Critical Reading Section

Relax already. You haven't even reviewed any of our material and you're already hyperventilating. (We know because we're watching you. You didn't know your monitor is a 2-way screen? Muaaa ha ha ha ha ha.)

If you understand some basic rules covered in the SAT test critical reading section and you follow our tips and advice for identifying the test's "tricks", you should do just fine. On a final note, this is not graded like a typical school test. The average student, after all, scores between 1530 and 1550 on the 2400 scale.
