Like I said, grammar isn’t taught in every school, and it is near impossible to really know it well by yourself, IMO.



(I’m using myself again as an anecdote, but…) I was not taught any grammar in school and consider myself to be very skilled in the subject; the SAT, moreover, does not explicitly test any grammatical terms. Nonetheless, I agree that a knowledge of grammar is very helpful, which is why I took the time to write a free and exhaustive grammar section in my SAT guide (stickied in the SAT Preparation forum).
