SAT Grammar and Diction (formally called Writing and Language)

SAT - Grammar and Diction

The SAT section in which you make decisions about grammar and diction (word choice) is called the "Writing and Language Test." Because most of the time we process language through our ears instead of through silent reading, try a multi-modal approach:

After silently reading phrases and sentences whose irregularities puzzle you, read aloud these bits. You may be able to answer more "Writing and Language" questions.
