<p>Hello all,
I want to get some tips from people who owned the MC. I currently have 3-5 wrong in the MC part and score 11-12/12 consistently on the essay. Having a little over two weeks left until the December exam, I would like to improve on the Multiple-Choice section: is there any way for me to reach 800?</p>
<p>Thank you.</p>
<p>bring up my post</p>
<p>Dude 740 on a section that probably isn’t as important as the other two is good enough. Stop worrying about this and get a life.</p>
<p>I would like help here also, missing 3-4</p>
<p>what sort of questions are you missing the MC portion? If you can be more specific, maybe we could offer help other than “don’t miss 3-5 questions.”</p>
<p>Hmm I have a hard time in Improving Paragraphs (the last six on the 35-question-section) and verb tense, especially if it appears on Spot-the-Error.</p>
<p>Dude you don’t need to do any improving. Stop wasting your time with this and get a life.</p>
<p>^ Why don’t you improve on yourself? And SAT is definitely NOT a waste of time, I submit, for it is an important factor in almost everyone’s college admissions.</p>
<p>And please, do stop discouraging people from reaching higher goals. My standards of achievement differ from those of yours.</p>
<p>The way I tackle error identification in Writing is to just have a huge checklist of what to look over for any underlined choice. For example, whenever a verb is underlined you should check for subject-verb agreement, tense, parallelism, etc. I’d say the hardest spot-the-error question is diction because it requies knowledge of vocabulary. I used this general technique and got all the error ID ones right in the Oct SAT.</p>
<p>I used to have major problems with improving paragraphs because I’d always go directly to the questions and not read the passage. Now I realized that it’s better to actually read the passage first (not extremely carefully though) so you have an idea on what the passage is talking about. </p>
<p>Oh, and for 75+% questions you should use process of elimination. Never ever ever pick an answer just because it sounds right. I play devil’s advocate a lot for the hard questions and pretend that the answer is wrong and I try to look for the error (which I make myself believe exists). If I still can’t find anything wrong with it, then it probably has no error.</p>
<p>If you really get 11s/12s on the essay consistently, I think you’ll def get 770+ if you just take practice tests and train yourself. good luckk :)</p>
