The writing section of the SAT/PSAT measures the student's ability to express ideas effectively in standard written English, as well as to recognize faults in usage and structure. The questions on the test are over rules of grammar that are often not taught in the regular classroom. Because of the thorough instruction we give, students in our programs generally see their greatest gains in the writing section. Our instructional materials give specific rules, explanations, and practice for the kinds of questions that will appear on the SAT/PSAT. We address all the following areas identified by the College Board:
|
subject-verb agreement verb tense pronoun usage modifiers idioms active and passive voice misplaced and dangling participles parallelism coordination and subordination double negatives sentence structure punctuation
|
In each section students are given rules for a specific concept, exercises over that concept,
and test questions in the same formats that appear on the SAT/PSAT.
