How long does it take to get 700+ writing?

<p>Hi,
I am helping my nephew with preparing for the SAT. The problem is that he’s rather weak at English, so I’ll have to come up with a comprehensive plan. Therefore, I’d truly appreciate if you could tell me about yourself in these 3 aspects:</p>

<ol>
<li>Are you a native speaker or international?</li>
<li>How long does it take you to get a 700+ in writing?</li>
<li>Do you study grammar in any book?</li>
<li>Do you prepare examples for the SAT essay? If you do, how many?</li>
</ol>

<p>Again, thank you for your response. :slight_smile: </p>

<p>The best study guide for Writing/Grammar is Ultimate Guide to SAT Grammar by Erica Meltzer.
Check out her website at critical reader dot com. Lots of info on her website.
Regarding the essay, my go to is Pwnthesat Essay guide book. When you buy the book and become a member you can submit your practice essays and he will grade it for free. He is graduate of Brown and got 2400 on SAT.</p>

<p>Many tutors say, if you approach the Writing question section like Math, you will be fine. ie. rules, formulas, etc.</p>
