Sample text
To test your reading abilities, they throw the following three types of questions at you, generally mixed together in three sections: ✓ Single passages: Some consist of as many as 700 to 800 words; some have only 100 words. ✓ Paired passages: The paired word count may total 700 to 800 words, but it may also be only 200 words. ✓ Sentence completions: See Chapter 5 for more details. Note: You may encounter (meet; run into) four Critical Reading sections on your test if you’ve been chosen to take a reading equating section, which the SAT makers use to try out new questions.
You receive 200 just for showing up, and an 800 — the highest score — can be achieved even if you’ve made a few errors. How did the test makers settle upon this score range? I have no idea! To guess or not to guess; that is the question. The answer is a definite maybe. On the grid-ins, always guess because you won’t get a penalty for a wrong answer. If you have no clue on the grid-ins, bubble in your birthday or the number of cavities you had during your last checkup. For the other five-answer, multiple-choice questions, try to eliminate obviously wrong answers.
A few long-term courses do make a slightly bigger difference (25 to 40 points combined verbal and math), but because you have to devote 40-plus hours to them, you get approximately one extra point per hour of study. Not a very efficient use of your time! You’ve already proved your brilliance by purchasing SAT For Dummies, 7th Edition. If you work your way through the book with some care, you’ve done enough. I teach seniors, and every year I see at least a couple of students put themselves in danger of failing English 12 because they’re spending all their homework time on SAT prep.
