<pre>Welcome to the Quick Start guide for the digital SAT. This entry covers all the Reading/Writing skills measured by the SAT test and equips students with the tools to build those skills. </pre> | |||
The SAT Reading/Writing is an evidence-based exam, so students are to develop the most effective and efficient approaches to the texts and questions about them. Although language is not as rules-based as mathematics, in that reading comprehension is a holistic skill, there are specific rules that students can master in order to approach the test using those rules. | |||
These rules include identification of paragraph and sentence construction, pronouns, modifiers, subject-verb matching, prepositional phrases, etc. -- and punctuation. You will find the punctuation rules at the bottom of this article entry, as punctuation follows and does not precede those other rules. Nevertheless, students should MEMORIZE the punctuation rules, just as they would a math formula, and then apply the other skills towards understanding their use. | These rules include identification of paragraph and sentence construction, pronouns, modifiers, subject-verb matching, prepositional phrases, etc. -- and punctuation.
