Overview
The SAT English course prepares students for the following sections:
Evidence-Based Reading
The Reading Test gives you a chance to show how well you understand what you read. The primary purpose of the section is to assess the candidate’s ability to understand and assimilate written text. The candidate is expected to know the meaning of words in context, along with associated variations in implied meanings and impact due to the exact word usage. According to the SAT syllabus 2018, the time allotted for this section is 65 minutes, for attempting 52 passage-based questions.
Writing and Language
The SAT Writing and Language Test asks you to revise and edit text. It requires the candidate to be an editor and improve passages that were written especially for the test – and that include deliberate errors. Candidates need to focus on improving sentences, structure and approach, and have a sound knowledge of subject and verb agreement, noun agreement, parallelism, the correct usage of pronouns, incorrect comparisons, conjunctions, misplaced modifiers and punctuation. This section is allotted 35 minutes and consists of 44 passage-based questions with multiple-choice responses.
The SAT Essay (Optional)
The SAT Essay evaluates the candidate’s reading, analytical, and writing skills. Candidates are required to read a passage, explain how the author builds an argument to persuade an audience, and support their explanation with evidence from the passage. The time allotted for this task is 50 minutes, and the expected length of the essay is 650-700.
