backup test

Successful math test prep rests on four pillars: skill, strategy, practice, and focus. To maximize scores, students must optimize performance in each of these  domains. Nowhere is this more important than on the SAT/ACT.  Of course, superior mathematical skill is required to achieve an excellent math score. This is obvious. Less well-known is the fact that mastery of key test taking strategies, implementation of a powerful practice regimen, and development of the ability to concentrate with an aggressive, razor-sharp, winning focus are often just as important. A secure command of test material is the most fundamental prerequisite for success on the SAT/ACT. Unfortunately, improving mathematical skill is mainly a function of time. There are no shortcuts. Years of diligent, dedicated effort inside and outside the classroom are necessary to develop “mathematical maturity,” a level of mastery at which reliable intuition starts to take hold, problem-solving abilities become potent ...

This is the companion piece to a post I wrote earlier on dSAT Math Topics . Questions in the Reading/Writing sections of the dSAT cover four broad topic areas: Craft and Structure, Information and Ideas, Standard English Conventions, and Expression of Ideas. The entire Reading/Writing section is 64 minutes long with 54 multiple-choice questions. - Modules Two Reading/Writing modules: Each module is 32 minutes long, with 27 questions (1:11 per question) Organized by question type, with similar skills grouped together Questions within each group are presented in order of increasing difficulty Each question has its own short passage or pair of passages Passages are between 20–150 words Wide range of topics, including literary excerpts and poetry May contain informational tables and graphs  - Information and Ideas 12-14 questions, 26% of the section Use information stated or implied in the passage (may include tables and graphs) to evaluate ideas in the text and draw conclusions.
