<p>what book did you guys use to practice for the WRITING SECTION?????? </p>
<p>Was it effective and did you find it improve your score?
Name some of the books and recommend some books to me.</p>
<p>I went from a 610 to a 760 so I definitely improved.
I learned how to write a good essay. I went from a 8 to an 11.
I also learned the grammar rules by heart. I went from missing 9 (1 omit) MC questions to 4. </p>
<p>All I used was the blue book, did a writing section every once every two weeks</p>
<p>use sparknotes, the free online edition that explains the writing essay. =) went from 9 to 11.
And make flash cards for the grammar (not of rules, but off all questions you missed + why you missed it). i.e. side 1 = the question (you can photo copy it or hand write it in)
side 2= answer. + your original answer/why it was wrong.</p>
<p>overall 690 to 790.</p>
<p>and do use the blue book. and PR’s 11 practice tests-> do all the writing sections in there.</p>
<p>Practicing with the blueBook alongside Testmaster’s answer book let me get a
perfect MC writing score.</p>
<p>Focus on CR and Math. Colleges only glance at writing, it’s pretty much ignored.</p>
<p>^ False</p>
<p>For the essay:
Get to know a few historical events really well that you would be able to relate to anything. It a very formulaic essay, you need to have a thesis that goes one way or the other.</p>
<p>For the grammar section you just need to get used to reading the things in your head until you start hearing which option sounds correct. </p>
<p>Going through the blue prep book is a good a way to do this.</p>
<p>Rocket Review and Grammatrix are excellent resources for basic grammar concepts that repeat frequently on the SAT</p>
<p>i went from a 690 to 800 by using the barron’s SAT book. really helped me. it was $33 though, but i think the 110 point jump was worth it</p>
