Flashcards are a good way to learn vocabulary which will definently be helpful in the sentence completion part of the critical reading section. They may also help in the short passage parts where sometimes strong vocabulary is used.

I find a very good flashcard template at this website:

they even have directions on how to print them out and everything!
