SAT Grammar

Test Preparation SAT Preparation
1

<p>I took several practice tests for the SAT and a certain weakness I seem to have is the section with all the grammar. Apparently I correct them the way they're spoken, and that's a no-no. Are there any books I can get that would increase my grammar skills for the SAT? I've tried one or two books but it's still pretty tough . . . it seems as if grammar is supposed to be something that should be built up slowly over time.</p>

<p>Yeah, it's hard to find a fast formula for grammar. For me, grammar is my best subject on the SAT behind critical reading, but just try to remember the basics. Look online or at a book store for books specifically on SAT grammar.</p>

<p>Thanks. Any book titles you would recommend? It would help a lot.</p>

<p>Work through it steadily and make sure you read all their tips. Works wonders! :P Grammar is by far the easiest section to improve, so it's good actually, that it's your weakness! (As opposed to CR and math, which are harder and take more tiiiime)</p>

<p>Strunk & White's "Elements of Style" is probably the gold standard on how to write.</p>

<p>You can ask me any question about grammar or punctuation and will be able to adress it with a 100% accurancy.</p>

<p>What makes you so confident mark? :P</p>

<p>*address.
A-san, I have studied punctuation and grammar extensively for the act and sat exams. I actually memorized punctuation rules and I am well acquainted with grammar. Although raw grammar is not really rested on the sat, I would be glad to help if someone needs help.</p>

12

<p>Do you need a comma after the word rules >.>. I may be wrong but I just felt like saying that :D.</p>

13

<p>nice mark. :) Thanks for the offer btw, I might definitely need help, since grammar is my weakest part of the test as well. Though it would be nice to know how you learned it so well so I may do the same. Like, did you just focus on the big blue book? Or did you read other books and other methods to be so good at grammar?</p>

<p>A comma separates two independent clauses followed by a conjunction (and). Yes, I should have used a comma after the word rules. When writing on these posts, I tend to overlook punctuation sometimes.( Just like you did when you forgot to add a question mark after your question, gyros.) Sorry if I seemed inconsistent.</p>

<p>But I never claimed I was good at grammar. In fact i think i suck at it except for memorizing the ones for the SAT.</p>
