<p>Hey guys,</p>
<p>I have a huge problem. :o I did horribly on the writing section on the March SAT. I got a range of 51, and an essay score of 12, so my final score went up to like a 580.</p>
<p>Could someone please offer advise on how to improve my writing score please? Recommendations would be tremendously appreciated.</p>
<p>I'm sure a million people have told you this, but vocab is such a huge part of it. You can usually find an obvious answer to the sentence completions if you know what each word means.</p>
<p>If you work quickly enough, on the sentence corrections, try re-writing the underline portion yourself in your head or with keywords next to the question. Read, read, read if you have problems with the sentence corrections.</p>
<p>I had the opposite problem on the March SAT: 800 on writing and 560 on maths.</p>
<p>He asked about writing section, not reading. For writing, just study parallelism, grammar, etc., and you should be fine.</p>
<p>The writing section is a bit easy if you pay attention the common errors. There are some common ones such as word choice,s-v agreement,parallelism,verb tense,modifier... Take one test from the blue book,correct it. When doing this,note by pencil which error is it on each question.If u can find out correctly which error is it,the next time u'll be able to get through! Good luck.</p>
<p>ha, i have the exact opposite problem, i do well on the MC and i got a frinkin 7 on the essay. Can someone help me out on the essay? I tried following some guide that i read which said: intro - thesis first, followed by topics. body 1, topic details, transition body 2, same thing. conclusion , repeat thesis , wrap up? is that basically all you have to do? Is it better to do three topics? and should i use a personal as well, or just books and history?</p>
<p>In my Jan 07 essay all my examples used history and I got a 10/12, I really enjoy history, most of it is done as self study because I already take enough courses at school. ( 8 classes)</p>
<p>My issue is the complete opposite. I always end up with a perfect MC section and around an 8 on the essay portion. I've taken classes and I know the simplest structure to use, but my main issue is that I often run out of time. Structuring my thoughts is hard for me and very tedious, especially on a test with time limits. Any way I can work on this besides practice?</p>
