Read for evidence
Practice central ideas, evidence, inference, vocabulary in context, text purpose, and relationships between ideas. Strong answers should be supported by the text rather than outside assumptions.
Practice expression and conventions
Review transitions, rhetorical goals, sentence boundaries, agreement, punctuation, and other conventions that affect clarity and effectiveness.
Study the wrong choices
After a miss, identify what made the distractor tempting. Common traps include answers that are too broad, unsupported, opposite to the text, or grammatically possible but rhetorically ineffective.
