Quick Tips: Essay: Pick a side and argue just that. It's liek standard intro+thesis+argument and then supporting paragraphs and then conclusion. Easiest way to get a decent grade on essay unless ofc you're a really good writer. crit reading = skim passage, and the right answer to the question has to be DIRECTLY supported by the passage. If there's something that can be debated, then SAT people can be sued. Math = plug in answers and use POE to solve. Honestly, I barely did any math here and just used the methods I mentioned. You can't really abuse a graphing calculator here like you can on the math SAT II's but it helps if you want to be for sure on your math and be lazy w/ mental math. Writing = Grammar rules, learn them and learn them well. afaik there are 4 rules that you have to mainly use for sentence correction: parallel structure, verb noun agreement, and two others I forget, blargh. Anyways those are general tips (longer than I expected lol)
