Summary
◦ The Writing and Language Test on the SAT is 35 minutes long and contains 44 questions.
◦ Many of the “questions” on the W & L Test aren’t exactly questions; instead, you’ll be presented
with a series of passages with different portions of it underlined, and you need to determine whether
the underlined portion is correct or if it should be replaced with one of the given choices.
◦ Check what’s changing in the answer choices. The answer choices not only tell you what a
particular question is testing, but also reveal mistakes that you might not have otherwise seen.
◦ Use POE to get rid of the incorrect answers. If you can’t eliminate three choices, pick the shortest
one that is most consistent with the rest of the sentence.
