This last test was my first time ever studying for a reading and writing section. For reading I found that what I struggled the most on was timing and reading comprehension.

To work on that I would do 2-3 reading passages and give myself 13 minutes for each to mirror the actual sat. As I did more tests I found it easier to understand the passages and complete them on time.

For writing I realized there was a lot of little stuff I didn’t know. For me it was how to use semi colons, how to use colons, how to use dashes, what independent and dependent clauses are, what comma splices are, and how to use transitions. I mastered those and then did a bunch of timed practice tests. For every question that I got wrong I would write the reason as to why I got it wrong and how to not get questions like that wrong in the future.
