What do I do after I have answered all level 4 passages(5 votes)
If you're looking for more practice, then I'd always suggest searching for past exams. People online have done a great deal to create a wealth of SAT QAS tests, which are actual past exams, with the answers included. A quick search should give you many tests, with many passages to keep practicing with.(16 votes)
what do I do if I have no idea of how to link the both passages(1 vote)- First think about the topic of each passage, and then try to consider how each author discusses the topic. A common type of paired passage is two science passages talking about a particular technology, such as for example asteroid mining. That's the topic. The author of passage 1 might be talking about the benefits, and the author of passage 2 might be talking about the risks. You can use that to organize the main ideas of each passage in your head and how to link them together. Passage 1 argues that we should mine more asteroids, and passage 2 argues that we shouldn't because it's too risky.
Did this answer your question alright?(2 votes)
- If you read your essas and learn where you can make it better.Youmcan always ask the same question you were asking before in your recent passage. can you learn from your mistakes you made on the novel you wrote or anything you right you can always improve.(1 vote)
- Why paired questions references lines always similar and tempting?(1 vote)
- where do I find more question papers if I already finished my level 4 passages and all the practice tests?(1 vote)
You can find previously released SAT tests by looking up the QAS. Remember that quality of practice is more important that quantity of practice. You might not need to go through too many more passages as long as you review them, figure out where you went wrong, and improve for the next one.(1 vote)
- where do I find more question papers if I already finished my level 4 passages and all the practice tests?(0 votes)
- You can find more question papers by looking at released SAT exams online. These are different from the practice tests and are actual examinations of the SAT that were given out in the past, and collected together through the QAS service that the College Board provides. To find them, google something like "SAT QAS test pdfs" and you should be able to download a couple to complete.(1 vote)
