<p>I made a 720 on the Writing section (11-Essay). How can I improve to get all the multiple questions correct? I think my weakest part may be the Identifying Sentence Errors (maybe 2 or 3 wrong).</p>
<p>practice?...</p>
<p>practice?...</p>
<p>Besides practice, you may want to review your grammar from an SAT book that clearly describes it. There is also free stuff on the Internet, like Sparknotes, but I don;t know how good it is.</p>
<p>In your case, 800=concentration+ luck.</p>
<p>Grammar rules are probably the easiest part of the SAT. Just practice them and drill them.</p>
<p>I would go through sections and make sure that you can categorize every error. This helped me alot, and after doing a couple sections this way i was able to spot errors really really fastly.</p>
<p>fastly?
is that even a word lol</p>
<p>BigBs a complete failure, what a loser. Its not Fastly you idiot, its Fastily.</p>
<p>^ or quickly</p>
<p>or QUIXLY . Get it?- QUICK, QUIX ? HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA.</p>
<p>Quix, just shut up. that wasn't funny. at all.</p>
<p>bigb- what do you mean by categorize them? Like be able to label what kinda error it is?</p>
<p>just be a grammar nazi in everr day life
not out loud but in your head
its like constant practice =)</p>
<p>My suggestion would be--to attend some SAT Classes, like Elite or Kaplan if practicing/studying by yourself isn't helping you.
Review your grammer and maybe purchase SAT prep books? I suggest Barron's.
I'm pretty sure there are SAT vocab flash cards out there too if you're struggling in that. In SAT prep book of Barron's they go through grammer/sentence rules, etc.</p>
<p>Good luck!</p>
<p>Stop talking to people and watching TV; read serious academic texts all day. This will put you in a bubble of grammatical pristineness, preventing linguistic pollution from the uncouth world.</p>
<p>Also, become a male chauvinist--one of the things in the Writing section is that you cannot have the singular "they" and "he" is considered correct in cases where you don't know the gender.</p>
<p>Seriously, get a prep book like Barron's and go over all the types of mistakes (missing antecedents, lack of parallelisms etc.); then practice with these. Maybe also find writing by people who don't speak English as their first language and help them fix stuff. For example, my Dad makes me check all his emails. It was really annoying but might have ended up helping me on the SAT.</p>
<p>The only thing that worries me is the essay: What if I get a topic that I can give no supporting example of my opinion about :-| lol</p>
<p>It happened to me on a practice test. But if it happens on the real thing, i'd say just don't freak out, and think. If you still can't think of anything, just make up 2 detailed personal experience examples with emphasis on your style. What you lose in good examples you'll have to make up for with good writing.</p>
<p>Practice answering the writing multiple choice. It's very possible to get an 800 with an 11 essay. Work on the mult choice by checking out any test prep book and it'll list different types of errors to look out for. No need for an expensive class.</p>
<p>Thanks, yep that's what i'll try to come up with</p>
