2.3 SAT Writing - Conclusion

Final Thoughts

  • Within improving sentence errors, really look out for the word "being."  It is has such an excessive use in high school writing that I have found many, if not most, of the answer choices that contain the word are wrong. 
  • If stuck between two SAT questions and you really cannot make out a difference, you have done enough work to take a guess, so choose the simpler of the two. 
  • Do not omit a question unless you cannot eliminate any answer choices.  If you want to play a conservative game, have at least two answer choices omitted before you take the gamble of guessing. 
  • By no means get hung up on any one question.  Keep moving.
  • As soon as you notice the passive voice, it is typically wrong.
  • Remember that even talented players may have a bad game if their head is not in it.  Keep yourself mentally protected from frustration by letting some questions go.
