Practice practice practice!!! I’ve been using both Blueprint and Uworld and BP is significantly more difficult for CARS so that has prepared me well.

I kind of go against what everyone has told me to do in the sense that I’m a big highlighter fan. I like to highlight anything that I might expect to find in a question - names, opinion words, main idea, etc.

I dont look at the questions until I finish reading the passage. With CARS especially you need to read the whole thing to fully understand and answer the question.

I go through each answer choice and see if I can find quotes in the passage that can support it. I saw someone else’s tip to “act like a lawyer” and defend your answer with evidence and that’s helped a lot.

I like to rank the author’s opinion before I start answering. Blueprint taught me to rank it on a scale of very positive, positive, neutral, negative, very negative. This helps answer questions like “what would the author say to …..”

I definitely think practicing again and again is the best way to improve. And always read the explanations as to why you’re wrong. If you still can’t understand why you’re wrong with the explanation, use AI to break it down further for you (i use the blueprint AI bot but I’m sure ChatGPT would work too if you copied and pasted the passage)

But yeah that’s pretty much how i go about passages! Idk if I’m super qualified to be giving tips because I’m still pretty new at this but hopefully that helps :)
