Meet the Writing Section

We’re not going to debate whether or not the SAT should include an essay, or why some people may think it’s unfair. We’re just going to accept it as a fact of standardized testing life and get on with helping you meet and beat it.

Here’s what we do in this chapter:

Review what the SAT Writing section covers and how it’s scored.
Explain the specific test-taking strategies you’ll need to beat the Writing section’s essay and multiple-choice questions.
Take a very close look at the SAT essay, complete with our Universal SAT Template and sample essays.

Got it? Good. Let’s go.
