SAT Reading and Writing - 4 lesson Overview
2nd session
Hi! This session will go over some tips and tricks that helped me score a 740 on the reading and writing section of the SAT on my first time. I can also cover basically any questions you need help with or topics you want to cover. We will work together to solve some actual SAT questions and make sure you ace your next SAT!
Lesson 1: Information and Ideas section, which includes Inferences, Command of Evidence, and Central Ideas and Details. These types of questions comprise roughly 26% of the SAT and tend to be the hardest. I will teach you how to analyze the paragraphs and pick apart the main idea. This is also a really useful skill for the rest of the SAT. I have actual SAT questions that I will include in my lesson, and we will work together to solve them, and the methods used to achieve the most accurate answer. I will also include information that helps with the English portion of the SAT in general and some tips and tricks to help understand the formatting of the SAT and how to avoid distractors on the SAT and get the actual answer.
Lesson 2: Craft and Structure, which makes up about 28% of the SAT and is also a difficult unit. It includes Words in Context, Text Structure and Purpose, and Cross-Text Connections. I have actual collegeboard questions on this topic and I will go over how to approach these problems and how to find the answer.
Lesson 3: Expression of Ideas, which makes up about 20% of the SAT. It includes Transitions and Rhetorical Synthesis. This unit focuses more on grammatical knowledge and I will also go over how to answer these problems while working with you all on actual SAT questions.
Lesson 4: Standard English Conventions, which makes up about 26% of the SAT. It includes Boundaries and Form, Structure, and Sense.
This comprehensive, 4-lesson series is sure to help you understand the Enlgish portion of the SAT more and improve your score.
