<li><p>For reading passages, are the questions in chronological order like the SAT?</p></li>
<li><p>Does the Writing part, the essay(this is the only part right), get factored into the overall 36 composite score? How? I hear that it’s out of 12(two authors), but is it factored into English?</p></li>
<li><p>Let’s say if you have 30 seconds left to fill in 5-10 questions,and you want to guess. You could play it safe and fill in one letter for all of them and have a good chance of getting at least one right. Or do it the regular way and fill in randomly. Do you guys find a certain way to work best, or just really random?</p></li>
<li><p>For the English section, do you guys find it easier to read the whole passage instead of the individual paragraph/sentence that pertains to a question? Not necessarily the entire passage, but skim it/read it quickly to get in that reading rhythm so you don’t get really confused when you try to dissect the underlined section without reading much of the text around it.</p></li>

<p>Seriously guys I need a response before tomorrow since this is my first time. Anyone who has taken the test, are the questions in chronological order for reading? A simple yes or no would be nice. Can an early question incorporate something at the end of the passage?</p>
<p>1) seems to be for the most part. However, there are also a lot of general questions thrown in. </p>
<p>2) no</p>
<p>3) pick a letter of the day and go with it. According to the Princeton Review you'll get more correct that way.</p>
<p>4) You proably wont have time to read the whole thing then go back. Just read what needs to be read to answer the next question.</p>
<p>i'm no expert, but i'll give you some help since i was in your shoes last February. </p>
<p>1) the questions are not chronological order. they are basically all over the place. also there are only 4 choices (a,b,c,d) </p>
<p>2)the essay does not factor into the overall composite score. </p>
<p>3) i really don't know which method works best. just fill them in because you aren't penalized for guessing. </p>
<p>4) do it question by question. read everything. don't skip 2 sentences because there isn't a question relating to the sentence. always read around the question too for like subject-verb agreement or whatever. </p>
<p>second post.. early questions are usually broad questions and cover the beginning of the passage. it really isn't chronological. </p>
<p>hope that helps.</p>
<p>Thanks a lot. I read Princeton Review, and I didn't read into their Word of the Day, but it's just basically choosing one at random I'm guessing?</p>
<p>I don't want to treat this as a test drive tomorrow for September, rather as a regular test that I didn't have to take in the first place but might as well try(in reality it could make my dream college, but I won't think about it). Good luck to you guys, and may good will, luck, and God be with us all!</p>
<p>yeah i guess that means pick a letter. hopefully you won't have to do that. but good luck to you too!</p>
<p>Oh, heh, I should have explained better. Yes, choose a single letter and mark that for all of them.</p>
<p>Goodluck to yall!</p>
