New SAT, Writing & Language + Reading

[@bephrem]

For those wondering: A gerund is a noun made from a verb by adding "-ing." The gerund form of the verb "read" is "reading." You can use a gerund as the subject, the complement, or the object of a sentence. Source: Google :)

Blake, you don't know how helpful this video has been for me. I'm taking the SAT in january, English is my second language, and the strategies and grammar rules you've explained have been priceless. Thank you!!!!

[@napialex7539]

me too, I'm planning to get a high score as 1500 and studying over the summer!

[@napialex7539]

sat math is very easy to improve but reading and writing, especially for ESL student, is like pushing a big stone to a mountain!

[@markaustria7533]

Napi Alex any sites for tips for SAT Math? I'm all good with reading and English just not the Math section :/

[@napialex7539]

do khan academy and sat cracking 2017 is very nice for math! you'll improve a lot especially if you are a native speaker still English plays a great role in math! If you know how to solve word problems SAT math is very easy!

[@napialex7539]

search on youtube for SAT math by organic chemistry and watch that video but still it's not enough so Search next for SAT math formulas and memorize all those formulas! get prep books other than collegeboard like Cracking SAT! and do a lot of practice tests!

that helps a lot....but do you know the main pass score out of 1600?

[@gothpotato07]

Valecia Leach 400 is the least you can get in the exam. 1100 is the average score of the people who take it. 1350+ is considered a good score.

[@fatimahmz9424]

+Muhammad Amr thanks a lot

[@bestsattips5245]

Look my videos!!

[@justinchang9977]

For writing section, you dont really read the text and rather go diretly to the questions. But wouldnt that make it difficult for you to answer subsequent questions that asks, for example, general idea of the passage as whole? I mean you can go back to find out the main point but that would just waste time too nuch.

[@anishkumthekar4708]

Your question is uproarious?! General idea questions are only present in reading passages... Go and understand the difference between the writing and reading passages in the SAT!

[@justinchang9977]

+Anish Kumthekar wt?? ofc there are. For example, there are questions like "does the author accomlish this or that goal in this essay?" bro i took the test and got my result yesterday lol

[@anishkumthekar4708]

I have taken over 12 practice tests... and one real tests... First off the SAT never mentions an essay, it always refers to its excerpts as passages. Next the author accomplishing a particular goal type questions are never asked in the WRITING AND LANGUAGE SECTION rather questions addressing the punctuation, authors style and sentence function are present. In the READING SECTION however, there are general idea questions, authors purpose questions and word context questions.

[@mahmoudm451]

For none and neither, isn't none a short for no one? so if we are talking about a singular here, then why it's not "likes" ? please answer asap.

[@justinchang9977]

Yes you can be right. Let me clarify for you, to know whether it's singular or plural when you use "none", it depends the subsequent subject that comes right after. For example: none of "boys" like book none of girl likes book So, it all depends on the quantity of the subject that comes right after. There is no canon that "none" is always singular. Hope it helped

[@justinchang9977]

+Clan FaZe typo: there is no canon that "none" is always plural

[@mahmoudm451]

+Clan FaZe Aha I see, but is it grammatically correct to say none of the girl? I think it should always be none of a "group of people" rather than one only. P.S I did the SAT already on June 4 :D waiting for the results now lol.

[@justinchang9977]

+Mahmoud Matar yes, indeed, i think my example was a bit flawed. It is grammatically correcy to say "none of group of people" "likes"

[@justinchang9977]

+Clan FaZe oh is the result out on 21st?

[@ruqiyyeibrahimli2075]

[@justinchang9977]

Tbh improving reading dramatically is merely possible (sry to say). I would like to advice, as a student of Harvard univeristy, that you to improve in other areas. Like you, I scored only 610 in my CR section in the old sat. Although I have worked, legit, 247 memorizing vocabs and repeating to do more questions, my final, super score, on reading was 670. Knew that all my painstacking effort died in vein, I rather spent more time on math and writing sections and attained 800 for both. Trust me, if you were to put effor in reading, dont you bother, just spend that effort in to other sections (for your case, aim for 800 in math, seriously SAT math is so easy even my granda can get the full mark). If you have further question, dont hesitate to ask gl with the SATSSSSS

[@lordinaamoako1870]

Justin C wow thanks. I really want to get 800 in math . how can I get that mark, what should I do. I'm willing to work hard
