<p>Okay, so I am really worried now that the PSAT is online about 2 days away. I just took the writing section of an official PSAT, and I got about 11-12 wrong which is a 54. I was able to get consistent 70+ in writing before, but then I has stopped studying for the writing and focused on reading and math...so now I'm ****ing dead! I've just finished reading RR grammar section...again... but I don't know what to do to increase my score. I'm willing to learn any grammar rules...and if anyone could please help me I would really really appreciate it. I need to get at least a 70 on the writing section. PLEAS HELP!! ANY ADVICE WILL BE HEARD!!!</p>
<p>If you really understood the grammar rules, they should have been internalized already. I don’t think you really understood the Writing section. I suggest working on Writing section until you fully understand it. Then, you can work on CR and Math. Writing section is much more mechanical than the other two. You should really internalize the grammar rules.</p>
<p>What specifically do you think I should study to learn all the grammar rules?</p>
<p>I remember I wrote this on the other thread.
For me, I read the writing section of the Silverturtle’s guide/Sparknotes’ seven deadly screw-ups religiously(like… really) in the beginning. I read these guides on the way to school, coming back from school, after dinner and before I slept. Then, when I felt I had a good understanding of the grammar rules and what to look for in the SAT, I solved real problems. At this point, I only looked at the guides if I made silly mistakes.
Even now, whenever I make silly mistakes, I punish myself to read the guides again. I am brutal to myself! lol.</p>
<p>It also helps to look at different writing question threads on CC.

This is a really good thread to go through.
Silverturtle, crazybandit, and many others provide really thorough explanations for many hard writing questions.</p>
<p>But considering, I only have about 2 days left…if I read all of this stuff thoroughly and practice questions using the BB…can I get a 70+?</p>
<p>If you were able to get consistent 70+ before, the grammar rules should come back to you shortly.</p>
<p>Since you only have 2 days left, don’t stress yourself. I would advise that you read Silverturtle’s guide at least once, and look through that thread about different writing questions.</p>
