How to eliminate wrong answers
Most SAT English questions are easier when you start by deleting losers.
On the Digital SAT, every question has exactly one fully defensible answer and three flawed ones. Your job isn't always to immediately spot the right answer — it's to prove three are wrong.
The 3-pass method
1) Read the passage and the question. 2) Predict an answer in your own words before looking at the choices. 3) Cross out any choice that doesn't match your prediction or that introduces an unsupported idea.
Quick tip
If two choices say almost the same thing, both are usually wrong — there can only be one correct answer.
SAT trap
'Half-right' choices are the most common trap. If a single word breaks the answer, eliminate the whole choice.
