There are many ways to prepare for the SAT grammar exam, but most of them are based on knowledge points. The SAT grammar question contains 25 improved sentences, 18 sentence corrections, and 6 improved paragraphs.

In the SAT grammar preparation, the steps to do the questions should be strictly followed from the shallow to the deep, so it is recommended that you can do it three times according to the difficulty of the question.

In the first pass, the questions are tested according to the test points, the purpose is to break through each of the main test points.
Taking the wrong question as an example, a candidate can select all the questions that check a grammatical point in all the questions in a review, summarize the examination forms and difficulties of the test point, and summarize them in his review notes. .

In this way, candidates can organize the important test points of the SAT grammar test into topical summaries one by one. If they encounter blind spots of relevant knowledge, they can still look in class notes or relevant sections of the grammar book in time to check for gaps.

In the second pass, I will do the questions in the order of 8 sets of simulation questions in order to gradually simulate the process of real exams.
This step can begin ten days or half a month after the first pass is completed. Do a complete set of grammar questions every day, but you don't need to control the time to do the questions to improve the accuracy.

After completing the correct answer, summarize the reason for the wrong question, and record the wrong question number. The effect that the candidates need to achieve this time is: correct the mistakes of each wrong question, and find out the cause of the wrong choices of each sentence improvement and paragraph improvement questions.

The third pass, summarized topic by topic, aims to maximize the value of the official guide.
This step can begin as soon as the second pass is completed. During the third pass, you can do the following things:
1. Carefully read each question and analyze the structure of each sentence.
2. Pay attention to the fixed collocations in stem sentences. These collocations may not necessarily show the underlined part of the topic. As long as they appear in the sentence, they should be treated equally.
3. Pay special attention to the questions you did wrong the second time.
4, under the premise of uncertainty, try not to randomly answer questions, do not fill in random.
5. Remember to write down the pen if you do not understand.
