<p>is that guide good enough to get you to score 700+? or is it not comprehensive enough? i feel that its a little short and skimmed. :/ in that case, if anyone scored a 700+, would you please suggest a guide that made you score in that range? and maybe a few other personal tips too. please, i'm asking kindly, don't troll and pretend you scored a 700, because i really want help, psat is 1 month away!</p>
<p>My scores are 790 CR, 800 W.
Really, I think the best thing you can do is take practice tests and then look at why you missed the questions you did. I remember looking at the grammar sections of a couple prep books, and they’re generally pretty thorough.
In my experience, a lot of it was just…intuition. If you’ve spoken English all your life, on some level you should be able to tell when something just looks wrong.</p>
<p>well… that was helpful…</p>
<p>Well… that’s pretty much the best advice you’ll get. Learning grammar is a basically a lifelong process… not something you can do in a month. Like intuition, it’s something you have or something you don’t. So really, just go with your gut. That’s what helped me get such a good score on ACT English, and I’m sure it’d apply to the SAT too.</p>
<p>to do well on SAT writing, you can’t just memorize a bunch of grammar rules, you just have to develop a “feeling” to know when something doesn’t sound right or isn’t right. To develop that, you practice, and practice, and practice… I went from a 620 W, to an 800, just by practicing.</p>
<p>awesome… i guess the international students are screwed. LOL</p>
<p>Try doing a search for the Guide to Grammar and Writing. On the right side of the web page is a drop down menu with quizzes. The quizzes link back to the rules. Lots of the errors on the SAT are in subject/ verb agreement, pronoun agreement, and parallelism ( others may chime in on other common errors that are tested), so start with those.</p>
