Improve your SAT score by determining the question type when you are taking practice tests. Research shows that metacognition (thinking about your thinking) improves skill acquisition. In other words, you will do better on standardized writing tests and writing/grammar in general. Your writing skills will increase.

Practice answering SAT-style writing questions on lined paper (with the correct letter response). In addition, try to discern (figure out) the type of question you have just answered. Use the links above as you determine the question types. Write the type of question next to your letter answer.
