SimplyOverdone's Daily SAT Study Journal

<p>I used the blue book. I just took the writing section’s one after another, skipping the reading/math sections (and the essay). My first practice test I got a 530 on writing; by my 5th test I was scoring 700’s. I looked up some grammar tips and such in my spare time, but I would say the most of my success was due to the practice sections.</p>

<p>Other tips:
Comparison errors
Ex: “At the art show, Amy enjoyed looking at her friend Mark’s innovative paintings, which she thought were more original than the other artists.”
This sounds like she is thought the artists were more original than a painting
It should be: “At the art show, Amy enjoyed looking at her friend Mark’s innovative paintings, which she thought were more original than THOSE of the other artists.”
Now it comparing paintings to paintings.</p>

<p>Just another little tip (I’ve seen this come up a couple times on practice tests)</p>

<p>When talking about a person, you have to use “who”, not “which”
Ex: “Jeremy, which is my co-worker… etc”
It should be: “Jeremy, who is my co-worker… etc”</p>

<p>I’m glad I can help.</p>
