• Remember that each of the correct answers is worth 10 points
• Remember that the questions increase in difficulty by thirds within each section

SENTENCE COMPLETION

Sometimes blatant hypocrisy stares us in the face and yet we fail to really see it. The College Board continues to say preparation for the SAT will only get you a few points, if that. Through the years they have repeatedly said that preparing for the test is a waste of money and time.

They must be selling something which is of value, otherwise they are taking advantage of you. Which is it?

Howdy from Dallas.  If you have visited before, you will see that the site has changed a bit and that we have lost previous entries. I wish i could blame that on someone else, but I got frustrated upgrading and just decided to start all over.  Since there were only about 10 entries, I’ll replace them shortly.

This blog is about college entrance tests.  The Study Hall Blog will address the tests in general, but that blog will address much broader issues….like choosing colleges, getting into colleges, scholastic success, and my ideas and thoughts.

So bookmark or track this page for tips and techniques for beating the tests.
