<p>I am currently around 2150: 800M, 670-680 CR and W. </p>
<p>how do I improve writing? I am trying to review grammar rules but they are so boring... Can I catch up to get around 750 in both CR and W for the October PSAT?</p>
<p>Write everyday for about 5 minutes.</p>

<p>Well, you do need to review grammar rules. Some things you just need to buckle down and study and practice. I don’t mean to be cliche, but your attitude and way of looking at it affects your success a lot. You are obviously very good at math. Why don’t you try looking at grammar and writing a little differently? Try to looking at grammar as a “formula” for a correctly-written sentence. Grammar is really all about the logical flow of thought of a particular language. Just like mathematical formulas, which outline the rules by which you must solve math problems, grammar is a set of rules that outline how you must solve the literary problem of “getting your point coherently and efficiently across.”</p>
<p>Google my article “how to write an essay if you’re better at math” for a more in-depth look at applying math to writing and grammar…. it will be on straightatutoring dot com. You can also read the two-part series on parts of speech “How to Write An Essay – English Grammar Rules – Parts of Speech: Pt 1” and “How to Write An Essay – English Grammar Rules – Parts of Speech: Pt 2.” In these articles, I explicitly compare the common parts of speech to a mathematical formula. This approach is a little unorthodox, but give a try - maybe it will help!</p>
