SAT Writing + Language / ACT English - The Ultimate Walkthrough

Поділитися

  • Опубліковано 9 кві 2019
  • If you want a high SAT Writing + Language or ACT English score, you need to know all the most important grammar rules of the English language - but, MORE importantly - you also need to know how to APPLY those rules to these tests! If you have the right grammar, but you don't know the strategies and tactics, you'll often fall for tricks and run out of time. Conversely, even if you DON'T know every grammar rule, you can often find the right answer simply by following proper strategy!
    The following video is a full walkthrough of my ENTIRE process for the SAT Writing + Language section - and because the New SAT is basically a carbon copy of the ACT, you can use these strategies for both tests with only minor alterations. This material used to be reserved exclusively for my private coaching students, but because I'm in a Santa-esque mood, I decided to share it with you all!

    Pro tip: something that helped me with the 43rd question which I initially found to be a little tricky is to read the start of the sentence with "The fact that.....", this will pretty much work with every question involving a sentence that starts with "that", I read through some forums and starting with "that" is way more common in American English than British, being a speaker of the latter, I was confused and this tip helped, I hope it helps you as well

    This really helped my understanding on how to actually prove the correct answer logically and not relying on just my intuition/opinion on which "sounds" better. Im more confident in the grammar section than the math one. And i find that one very easy

      It's confusing because the subject, an idea/concept, is implied. [the idea](that these skills are transferable)[makes][them beneficial](to students) ...
      [the idea makes them beneficial].
      Sentences should always have subjects and verbs. If we kept "which" (which signals an incoming unnecessary clause), then we would have no verb in the main clause. It's just that identifying the main clause is complicated, because of the implied subject.

    Redundancy is not an error, or more precisely, redundancy is not always an error, and that applies to more than just in engineering. Redundancy may not be the "soul of wit", but it has its uses in emphasis, security (as in, for example, explaining how security is related to redundancy), and structure (e.g. in order to form an iambic pentametre).
