Writing Skills

The New SAT tests your writing skills in two ways:

• An essay - one essay to be written in 25 minutes
• Grammar questions - two sections, one of 25 minutes and one of 10 minutes

Use our sat essay section to get clear advice on how to handle the essay. We have a topic list from which you can select some essays to practice. You can get your teacher to correct your essays or use our essay evaluation grid to help you estimate your own score.

The grammar questions are of three types:

• Identification of sentence errors
• Sentence correction
• Editing in context

Our 10 grammar mini tests give you practice on all these types of question. You can get explanations of all these questions.

For further discussion of typical grammar problems you can refer to a book such as the Kaplan New SAT Writing Workbook. This book also has a good section on how to improve your essay writing.
