<p>I am looking for a book that has lots of writing problems that are likely to be on SAT. I usually miss 4 on each test, so I need to make that 0. Any suggestion for a book to prep for writing?</p>
<p>bump.......</p>
<p>My opinion is that the only writing questions you should ever use are the ones in the Blue Book. Any other practice book will confuse the hell out of you because they have their own seperate rules for what is grammatically correct. Pick up a grammar book if you have trouble; I just finished reading one from McGraw Hill and IMO its the most accurate I've seen. But seriously, I had 9 wrong on the last SAT I took in October and 5-4 wrong on the first Blue Book test. After taking like 2 more tests I've got it down to 0-2 questions wrong in the Blue Book through experience.</p>
<p>thanx for advice! so I am guessing BB is always a way to go.</p>
<p>Metlife, if you are still a junior, I recommend taking a class. It is sometimes very hard to improve writing score without knowing what to expect on the test. Writing is 100% aptitude. You will not recognize the types of wrong answers if you do not practice and find out why some are wrong and why some are right.
Remember that 75% of all sentence correction answers are usually the shortest answers.
and that 20% of all the sentence error questions are usually No error. this is purely statistical, but it can work to your advantage. for the essay, that part is mostly subjective, but this is how you should approach it.
Write a beautiful introduction; half of your score comes from how well you approach. give two good bodies (or 3, depending on your examples), and give a universal truth conclusion.</p>
<p>Practice tests from Blue Book and finding what they always put on there..they basically ask you to identify the same errors over and over again.
Jot down the errors you keep making..and what the right answer is supposed to be..review that occasionally.
Just practice practice practice under timed conditions.</p>
