Sat Critical Reading – Sentence Completion

  • Complete each sentence in your mind using your own words first, then look at the correct answers.
  • Always choose the answer that is closest to the one on your mind
  • Don’t rush through each selection. Don’t waste time but make sure to review all the answers before selecting the best choice.
  • If you come across words you’re unfamiliar with, use the context of the sentence to figure out what they mean.
  • One common mistake that students make is that they tend to overlook the reversing effect of negative words (such as not) or prefixes (such as un-).
  • Allow transition words, such as likewise and although, to suggest the better answer.
  • If you just can’t figure out what a word means, then try to get the meaning from the context which it was used.
  • Eliminate choices in double-blank questions if the first word doesn’t make sense in the sentence.

SAT Critical Reading – Comprehension

  • Identify the main idea of each passage.
  • Always make sure to read the italicized introductory text.
  • Always answer the easy questions first to save time.

  • Read each passage through at least once before the questions.
  • The most important sentences of each paragraph are the first and the last. Pay particular attention to these sentences.
  • Don’t waste time memorizing the details of each passage.
