<p>How did you do so?
Lifelong reader?
Share you stories.
What types of books are best to enhance one's skill?</p>

<p>800 here.</p>

<p>Read pretty often when I was little I guess… No ‘classics’ really, just whatever I wanted to. Since high school started I have hardly read at all, so don’t really really know it happened. Just got lucky I guess. </p>

<p>Oh, right - Get the two directhits books. They are pretty good, I think. I did nothing other than read those books between my first and second SATs and went from 730 > 800.</p>

<p>“For those of whom who got 770+ CR”</p>

<p>Ironically, the correct word is “who.”</p>

<p>I got an 800. My parents read to me a lot as a child, but I wasn’t a big reader in middle school or high school. I do, however, have a lot of interest in philosophy, so I think reading philosophical texts in and out of school developed my critical thinking skills at a much faster rate than reading a lot of novels would have. It’s not how much you read, but how you read.</p>

<p>790</p>

<p>No video games, no TV, books, BOOKS, AND MORE BOOKS!</p>

6

<p>Thanks, guys.
Silverturtle, it’s actually “whom” because it follows a preposition.</p>

7

<p>I think silverturtle meant to indicate that the preposition is unnecessary, and it should just be “those who.”</p>

8

<p>oh. Sorry, silver.
Thanks, 112358.
Didn’t you do well on your SAT?</p>

9

<p>If you consider 2400 “well” haha
(if im not mistaken :P)</p>

<p>

</p>

<p>That’s not a grammar rule</p>

11

<p>Yes it is. Object of preposition should be in the objective case.</p>

12

<p>NVM, jamesford is right. The whole problem can be avoided, though, by just eliminating the preposition altogether.</p>

13

<p>

</p>

<p>It’s not a rule. Look at the following sentence. What is the correct answer?</p>

<p>“I decided to vote for whoever/whomever called me first.”</p>

<p>According to that rule, whomever is the answer since a preposition precedes it. But that’s not the correct answer.</p>

14

<p>wow never saw that one before…</p>

15

<p>Well, in that case, i think it should be whoever because its the subject of the verb “called.”</p>

<p>But, it is a rule, trust me. I’m not trying to prove you wrong or anything, I’m just trying to help. You have to use objective pronouns as objects of prepositions.</p>

<p>“Everyone loves Raymond except Bernice and me.”
Between you and me, I’m becoming suspicious of Sybilla and him.</p>

<p>Also, on a side note it should be used as the subject and object of an infinitive.</p>

16

<p>Generally, objective pronouns are indeed needed as objects of prepositions. In the case of relative pronouns, however, they take their case not from their relationship to the independent clause, but from their relationship to the dependent clause.</p>

<p>So to take jamesford’s example:</p>

<p>“I decided to vote for whoever/whomever called me first.”</p>

<p>Looking solely at the independent clause, it would seem the objective case is called for, since the word in question in the object of a preposition. In the dependent clause, however, “whoever” is acting as the subject of “called”. Since relative pronouns take their case from their relationship to the dependent clause, we need the nominative case.</p>

17

<p>lol. =) rofl.</p>

18

<p>It should be whoever.</p>

19

<p>It’s not a rule, College92. There is a similar rule, but you’re mistaken.</p>

20

<p>One should use “whom” for the objective case and “who” for the subjective case. Any rule regarding choice based on preceding words is wrong.</p>
