Explore paraphrased summaries by identifying what is true 'according to the text' and answer with synonyms, focusing on specific details like the mother, Mars helicopter, and a crowd.

Distinguish function and purpose questions from main ideas by focusing on the why and recognizing them. Identify the point the question supports and answer in your own words.

Learn to efficiently tackle text completion questions by identifying the next logical statement, evaluating answer choices against the passage, and focusing on context near the blank to ensure evidence-based reasoning.

Learn to identify the core claim, read the question first, distinguish supporting versus undermining evidence, and apply strategies to select the best findings in these questions.

Learn to interpret charts and graphs by linking the data table to the passage and identifying the key claim. Skim, take notes, and focus on relevant data to support conclusions.

Explore dual passages by comparing two texts on the same topic, identifying main points, and analyzing how conclusions relate, using question-first reading and process-of-elimination strategies.

Master grammar fundamentals by building simple, complex, and compound sentences; learn dependent and independent clauses, comma rules, and how to fix comma splices and fragments for the SAT.

Explore how transitions and transitional phrases guide reading and writing, distinguishing positive triggers from negative triggers and cause-and-effect relationships, and mastering comma and semicolon use with examples.

Learn to identify key differences in notes, read questions first, and use process of elimination to answer SAT-style comparisons, such as baking soda vs baking powder and microprobes versus rovers.

Learn how to combine and separate sentences by distinguishing independent and dependent clauses, handling nonessential phrases, and using periods, semicolons, comma-plus-fanboys, colons, and dashes.

Learn how nonessential clauses add extra information using commas or dashes, how to test their necessity, and how they affect sentence meaning in SAT grammar.

Explore the rules for comma, colon, semicolon, and dash usage with practical examples, focusing on lists, introductory phrases, nonessential clauses, and punctuation in complex sentences.

Master verb subject-verb agreement and tense by matching verbs to singular or plural subjects and maintaining correct tense, illustrated with examples like embryos enter a dormant state and players jump.

Master pronoun rules, apostrophes, and possessive nouns, including plural possessives and contractions such as it's and who’s. Apply the proximity principle for or vs. and and fix unclear antecedents.

Shorter equals better: learn to choose the shortest grammatically correct option to reduce wordiness without changing meaning, avoiding redundancy such as 'filled to capacity' or 'additional gratuity'.

Explore faulty comparisons, spotting mismatched subjects and correcting with 'that of' or 'those of' to clarify comparisons, as used in SAT writing strategies.

Explore idioms, diction, and register in SAT writing, learn when to use I vs. me, and practice trimming the fat with real examples and rules.

Explore the fundamentals of parts of speech for the SAT, including verbs, nouns, pronouns, prepositions, adjectives, adverbs, and conjunctions, plus fanboys and not only but also patterns.
