Going from 700 to 800 in writing in a month?

Test Preparation
1

<p>How can I go from a 700 in writing to an 800. I barely practiced for writing yet got a 700, so I’m naturally talented with grammar etc… </p>

<p>Which prep books should I use? Why do I make some grammatical mistakes?</p>

<p>Mistakes in the writing section result from either not knowing the rules or not being able to apply the rules.</p>

<p>The rules are very basic. I went from a ~500 -> a consistent 800. I used a combinations of prep books to learn grammar:</p>

<p>1) Gruber’s Complete SAT Guide - excellent grammar review (50 pages of solid grammar review). Con: 20 grammar practice questions total.
2) Mc-Graw Hill’s SAT - excellent grammar review AND lots of review questions.
3) Nitty-Gritty Grammar
4) Barron’s Writing Workbook - only for extra practice</p>

<p>Good luck :)! 1 month is plenty of time.</p>

<p>Go over a bunch of grammar rules and PRACTICE. I got so much better at writing just from practicing and going over my wrong answers.</p>
