SUGGESTIONS
Current juniors are well-prepared for the SAT and EOC reading sections, with experience in essay writing and evidence usage. Areas of deficit include reading endurance, grammar application, and patience in editing. The SAT and EOC tests differ in question types, number of questions, and time constraints. Test-taking approaches also vary, with the SAT having an increasing difficulty level and specific time constraints.

ESSAY ESSAYS SHOULD MAKE PURPOSEFUL, SELECTIVE, SUBSTANTIVE USE OF QUOTATIONS AND PARAPHRASES IN A WAY THAT SUPPORTS STUDENTS ANALYSIS. STUDENTS ESSAYS ARE EVALUATED IN TERMS OF READING, ANALYSIS, AND WRITING:
Reading: Successful essays demonstrate thorough comprehension of the passage, including the interplay of central ideas and important details, and use textual evidence effectively.
PASSAGES ALL PASSAGES ARE SELECTED FROM PREVIOUSLY PUBLISHED, HIGH-QUALITY SOURCES. PASSAGES WILL VARY EACH TIME THE TEST IS GIVEN, BUT ALL WILL: ADDRESS A BROAD AUDIENCE. CONVEY AN ARGUMENT. EXPRESS NUANCED VIEWS ON COMPLEX SUBJECTS. USE LOGICAL REASONING AND VARIOUS FORMS OF EVIDENCE TO SUPPORT SUBSTANTIVE CLAIMS. EXAMINE IDEAS, DEBATES, TRENDS, AND THE LIKE IN THE ARTS, THE SCIENCES, AND CIVIC, CULTURAL, AND POLITICAL LIFE.
Reading: Successful essays demonstrate thorough comprehension of the passage, including the interplay of central ideas and important details, and use textual evidence effectively.
Analysis: Successful essays demonstrate skill in evaluating the author s use of evidence, reasoning, style, and other stylistic or persuasive techniques and support and develop claims with well-chosen evidence from the passage.
Writing: Successful essays are focused, organized, and precise, with an appropriate style and tone that varies sentence structure and follows the conventions of standard written English.
Every SAT Essay will be read by two scorers. Each scorer will award 1 to 4 points each in reading, analysis, and writing. The scores will be combined for a total of 2 to 8 points in each of the three categories.
