<p>No problem! </p>
<p>Bump, you can still ask questions. I’ll be answering occasionally. </p>
<p>Is there any way to easily bring up my writing score? I tend to get only 1 wron per section in Math and Cr, but I’m getting about 5 questions wrong per writing section (mostly in grammar related things). Do you have any tips to help me more easily recognize what the test makers are looking for in an answer?? Thank you so much for answering all these questions! </p>
<p>I’m preparing for the PSAT.</p>
<p>CR- I’m scoring high 600’s~ low 700’s. How can I bump this up to mid 700’s?
Math- I’m missing 1 or 2 due to careless errors. I guess practice and recognizing what types of questions will eliminate these errors?
Writing- How do I bring up my writing score? I consistently score in the lower 60’s. I know all the rules but I cannot recognize idiom errors and misuse of some words
FOR EXAMPLE== This is a question i missed on a practice test.
These days, business and social life are conducted at a pace that prompts people to send e-mails or make phone calls to colleagues and friends RATHER THAN letters.
a) rather than
b) instead of
C) rather than write
D) instead of to write
E) rather than written
I chose A but it was C ._.
What type of error is that question? Is it parallelism?</p>

<p>I’m getting 2000~2050 in my practice tests. Do you think I can bump this up to 2100 before October PSAT? It’s in exactly two weeks from today. I’m a freshman taking this PSAT. Although the SAT is going to change but if it were not to change, do you think I would have scored 2300+ on the SAT in my junior year?</p>
<p>@engineerof2016 Erica Meltzer’s guide to SAT grammar seems to be very popular around here for the writing section.
Idk what to tell you, but I usually read the questions quietly to myself and see which answer choice sounds best.
@sdw8253 you will have to take the newly designed PSAT, so the score you get this year would be totally irrelevant unless you decide to take the SAT before 2016, which IMO you should.
Practice tests helped me improve the most. Learning the question types could save you a lot of time, especially in the writing section. Give Erica Meltzer’s guide a try! </p>
<p>Sam LIKED to read NOVELS, of WHICH he found mysteries ESPECIALLY gripping. NO ERROR </p>
<p>The answer is OF WHICH while I first put NO ERROR. Is it because the “which…gripping” isn’t used correctly as a relative clause, by not acting as an adjective modifying novels? </p>
