SAT Writing Test Prep in Atlanta and the Surrounding Communities

Learning to write well makes you smarter.  That statement seems backward, but it is surprisingly true.  Students who study and practice coherent writing find themselves more adept at recognizing flaws both in their own writing and in that of others.  By evaluating the effectiveness of their own argument-making, they develop more sophisticated reasoning.  While both the SAT and the ACT have writing components, the essay on the SAT is mandatory and comes first, whereas the essay on the ACT is optional and comes last.

According to information published by the College Board, the Writing section of the SAT examines whether students can:

 - Manage Word Choice and Grammatical Relationships Between Words
 - Manage Grammatical Structures Used to Modify or Compare
 - Manage Phrases and Clauses in a Sentence
 - Recognize Correctly Formed Sentences
 - Manage Order and Relationships of Sentences and Paragraphs
 - Construct and Write a Timed Essay Responding to a Given Prompt

 
Knowing how these skills are applied in a timed, multiple-choice format will be an significant part of our tutoring process.  Students can rise to higher levels of comfort through frequently practicing these skills.  Practice's necessity becomes evident for students as they start to feel "at home" with the test.  Our tutoring practices are designed to usher students into a place of high competence and high comfort in answering these types of questions.
