Since author works in book publishing industry, has strong skill in
literature. I think her advice on verbal is quite useful.
1. How essay get grade?
The essay is scored "holistically" by 2 independent grades on a scale 1 to 6
, which means you get one score from each grader bases on an overall
impression of your essay's quality, as opposed to a set of scores on grammar
, thesis, development, and so on. Graders read the essay once and spend 2 or
3 minutes per essay.
2. One novel fit to all SAT essay writing
It seemed to me that nearly all novels kids read in high school English can
be used to answer nearly all SAT prompts, so it isn't necessary to memorize
dozens of different examples. ...There is one exception to all-novels-fit-
all-prompts principle, and that is the technology prompt.
3. Problem in Critical reading practice
Copyright protection lasts for the life of the author plus 70 years for
works published since 1978. Because writers used more complicated sentence
structures in the 19th and early part 20th, reading passages in big-box
materials (Barron's, The Princeton Review,) can be well above the level of
the most difficult material appearing on a real SAT.
4. SAT Verbal Section suggestion:
For the inference questions were most challenging...because they're based on
information that is suggested but not stated in the text. For inference
questions that correct answer is usually a simple rephrasing of the
statement from a slightly different point of view: same idea, different
words - but a more shorter leap than most people expecting. The question can
also be difficult because of reader's tendency to extrapolate beyond what
is on the page.
Critical reading passages are not out to trick students. They test whether
students can follow what a passage is saying, both at the level of
individual sentences and at the more abstract level of the larger point or
argument the passage is making. The focus is on the author's meaning or
intent, which is not necessarily what is taught in most high school English
classes, where students are asked to make personal connections to the text
or to discuss themes, symbols, and meaning. What students are not being
asked to do is read closely so as to understand how particular linguistic
and stylistic choices shape impression the author wants to convey. That is
what the SAT is asking.
5. The SAT is a Vocabulary-based "reasoning" test. You aren't expected to
know every word in the dictionary; you are expected to be able to reason
your way to the answer using what you know.
1. Choosing a test location
Classroom, rather gym or cafeterias; Full-size desks; a visible clock
better distraction-free room.
2. Keep your time. Bring an analog watch to test, reset minute hand to 12
at each section, which makes time calculation unnecessary during test.
