<p>S did very well on the M and CR sections (1540) of the SAT, but his writing score (610) incorrectly suggests that English is not his native language. </p>
<p>What should DS do to learn grammar AND prepare for the Nov SAT? Books to suggest?</p>
<p>I’ve heard Grammatix and Rocket Review are good for the Writing section.</p>
<p>610 does not suggest that English is not his native language.</p>
<p>CR indicates your “language” potential more than Writing. English was not my first language and I scored exceptionally well on M+W (1600), but CR was horrible on the other hand.</p>
<p>Sorry, it was a lame joke. Suffice it to say, that DS has strong math and reading skills. Because he has never paid attention to grammar, however, his W score is much lower than his M or CR. He finally sees a need to learn grammar and I am applauding and trying to encourage the effort.</p>
