brendafromtenn Posted April 30, 2019 Share Posted April 30, 2019 Now that I have some FABULOUS ideas on how to prep for the math portion of the PSAT(see previous post), what kind of ideas do you have for prepping for the Reading/Writing portion of the PSAT/SAT? This would be for the summer. Thanks! Brenda Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RootAnn Posted May 2, 2019 Share Posted May 2, 2019 So, obviously, Khan Academy. Erica Metzler books are also highly spoken of (but my DD didn't find the one we had useful, so YMMV). She has four SAT books. If practice tests show a lower score for the evidence-based reading portion, go for EM's Reading book. If the Writing portion is lower, go for the Grammar book or just have her review punctuation rules. Overall, I'm just a big fan of paper-and-pencil practice tests followed by review of every question to see why you got it right or wrong. Speed isn't as big on the SAT as on the ACT but it is important. Another idea is to read a variety of well-written non-fiction sources for practice. But, we haven't gone out of our way to do that if it isn't something we already subscribe to & the kid is interested in (National Geographic, The Economist, for example).

brendafromtenn Posted May 4, 2019 Author Share Posted May 4, 2019 Thank you SO much for mentioning the Erica Metzler books. I had seen them, but was not sure if they would work. You have been very helpful, RootAnn! Blessings, Brenda 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
