Intro to Sentence Structure
Summary
The content provides a comprehensive strategy for tackling the writing passage section of the new SAT, emphasizing a novel approach to understanding and answering questions effectively.
- The writing passage section is a blend of grammatical and reading comprehension skills, requiring analysis of context and sentence placement within passages.
- There are four passages with 11 prompts each, totaling 44 questions, with a mix of topics from social sciences, sciences, personal narratives, to business and careers.
- Three distinct approaches to handling the passages are discussed: reading the entire passage first, not reading the passage at all, and reading each paragraph then answering its questions.
- The recommended strategy is the paragraph approach, which balances time efficiency with comprehension, aiding in answering both detail-oriented and big-picture questions.
- Experimentation with these strategies over multiple sessions is encouraged to identify the most effective method for individual test-takers.
