It’s an SAT book。。。 What did I expect (don’t get me wrong it’s good, but I would rather have spend my time doing something that isn’t SAT related)

Nalani

Boringly and blatantly basic。 Would only recommend to those who barely know English Grammar。 But I wouldn't be confident that they can hold up because the writing style and tone surely test one's patience and focus。 There are a few errors too。 And wow, a guide without explanation to the exercises。It's quite a letdown to me because this author's guide to reading was really good。 Boringly and blatantly basic。 Would only recommend to those who barely know English Grammar。 But I wouldn't be confident that they can hold up because the writing style and tone surely test one's patience and focus。 There are a few errors too。 And wow, a guide without explanation to the exercises。It's quite a letdown to me because this author's guide to reading was really good。 。。。more

The Writing & Language portion of the SAT is different from the Grammar section of the old SAT in one important way。 The Writing & Language section leans heavily on STYLE。 Style is a tricky animal because it often depends on unspoken rules and context。 When an author is described as being a "good" writer or more commonly a "bad" writer, frequently what is being criticized is the author's style。 Fortunately, because the SAT is a standardized test, so to must be the stylistic conventions tested。 B The Writing & Language portion of the SAT is different from the Grammar section of the old SAT in one important way。 The Writing & Language section leans heavily on STYLE。 Style is a tricky animal because it often depends on unspoken rules and context。 When an author is described as being a "good" writer or more commonly a "bad" writer, frequently what is being criticized is the author's style。 Fortunately, because the SAT is a standardized test, so to must be the stylistic conventions tested。 But students still need to be told what those stylistic conventions are。The Ultimate Guide to SAT Grammar elevates itself from other grammar books in that it dissects the types of questions the newest incarnation of the SAT tests。 Ms。 Meltzer is methodical in her analysis of the first 4 released SATs and uses that data to produce 18 lessons on concepts necessary to score well on the Writing & Language section。 Additionally, she indexes the question type for each of the W&L questions to enable a test taker to understand what types of questions he/she struggles with。 This is a useful tool for the students who want to attain a perfect score on this test。 The chapters are focused and clearly written (good style) and provide the reader with exercises to practice the concepts described。 Many students use their "guts" for this section and rely on what "sounds" right, but this is a mistake because the rules of written English are much more exacting than spoken English, and The Ultimate Guide to SAT Grammar gives a thorough explanation of the rules and how to apply those rules。 Just the Facts:252 PagesTargeted Practice for the Writing & Language section onlyNo full testsPaper Quality is excellent--you can write and erase several times without breaking throughwww。internationaltester。com 。。。more

In those pages, Erica's managed to pack advice (and a dizzying number of example sentences) to cover every single grammar rule that could conceivably appear in an SAT writing section。 She provides insight into how often certain error types appear。 At times, she even provides insight into roughly where in the test certain error types are most likely to appear -- did you know faulty comparison errors are most likely to appear in question #27?

She writes with an authority that only someone who has spent as much time analyzing the test as she has could possibly muster。 In short, she knows everything you need to know to get an 800 on the SAT writing section, and she tells it to you。 All of it。 I don't think charger could find a question, in the Blue Book or in any recent QAS, that tests a concept that she hasn't covered。 。。。more

I use this book as a tutor, in order to help my students recognize errors that are common on the SAT Writing (the multiple choice "proofreading" portion)。 The lessons are clear, and the practices give students a thorough opportunity to recognize (and correct) these errors in context。 While the errors are a bit more simple to identify in this format, the practice gives my students the skills to name the error (or potential error) in each SAT question and double-check it for correctness based on t I use this book as a tutor, in order to help my students recognize errors that are common on the SAT Writing (the multiple choice "proofreading" portion)。 The lessons are clear, and the practices give students a thorough opportunity to recognize (and correct) these errors in context。 While the errors are a bit more simple to identify in this format, the practice gives my students the skills to name the error (or potential error) in each SAT question and double-check it for correctness based on the rule。 This is ESPECIALLY helpful, since the test is constructed so that most test-takers can't rely on their "ear" for language to identify errors!The Ultimate Guide is one of the best tools I have when working with students on SAT prep! 。。。more
