<p>title says it all... i've read silverturtles but i just need more practice! whats the best book? for writing?</p>
<p>You should take practice tests, group the questions you miss by topic.</p>
<p>If you’re missing grammatical things, you should be able to learn the grammar by Googling it.</p>
<p>mmmmm interesting…any other suggestions?other than tests… i need specific writing practice</p>
<p>I’m reading the Barron’s 2400 grammar rules and strategies. It teaches you every concept you need to ace the writing section.</p>
<p>Hey. I was able to raise a Writing Score of ~550 (Practice Test) to a 730 (actual score from January SAT). This is how: </p>
<p>The only resource you really need is the College Board Blue Book. Inside of the Blue Book you will find a link that will allow you to view explanations (for the practice tests) online. These are extremely helpful. To raise your score, you must take Writing Sections from the Practice Tests and then look up the explanations online. Learn why certain things are correct and why certain things are incorrect. After a few practice tests, you will begin to spot these errors with ease. </p>
<p>Trust me. I was in your position a few months ago and was desperately searching for answers and tips to improve my writing score. It really comes down to effort. Writing, I believe, is one of the easiest sections to improve upon. You just need to put in the effort. </p>
<p>Other than doing practice tests, I suggest you review Sparknotes’ “7 Deadly Screwups” and Silverturtle’s guide (located on this site). </p>
<p>Good luck!</p>
<p>anything else people?! i must get that 800 in writing!</p>
<p>This might sound obvious, but the best book to practice for writing or any other section of the SAT is the blue book. </p>
<p>If you’ve already done that, consider downloading the College Board’s free practice tests. There are 3 if I’m not mistaken.</p>
<p>Another thing you can do is get the online SAT course. Sometimes it’s sold on ebay for a cheap price.</p>
<p>The point is - it’s best to use questions made by the test makers. Practice on those questions often and you’ll soon see that there are only so many grammatical rules that appear on the SAT over and over again.</p>
<p>You just have to get used to spotting them and the way they are tested. That’s all there is to it. You don’t have to learn every single grammar rule in the English language. You only need to learn what’s required to beat the test and practice on the way they will be test on the actual SAT using questions made by the College Board.</p>
<p>okay got it to a 770 for march… i want that 800… advice for that last push? i need more practice and i have done all the qas i can find, blue book, and the online course!</p>
<p>PR manual (not the regular 11 practice test thing). it works wonders, even at high score ranges.</p>
<p>mmmm ill look into it…any more advice/books?</p>
<p>You got a 770, you don’t suck!</p>
<p>What was your MC/Essay?</p>
<p>12 essay… 72/80 on MC… i don’t know how many wrong that is… Gah i want that 800 in writing.</p>
<p>Our daughter had the benefit of working with a very skilled writing, grammar and reading comp tutor.
There are a lot of inaccurate grammar books, her tutor is enormously proficient at exactly what the test is looking for. She has a personal study program that is superb
Her writing score also went from a 7 to a 10</p>
