SAT Evidence Based Reading and Writing

The SAT is changing. Underlining as you read is a key strategy on the SAT Evidence Based Reading and Writing Section.

Follow these tips to make sure you underline the right key words.

  • Descriptive words & negation
  • Transition words-however, yet, indeed, although, even though, instead, still, though, & whereas
  • Verbs-underline the main verb in every sentence
  • New characters
  • Lists & unusual punctuation (dashes, quotes, italicized words, question marks, and exclamation points)
  • In context vocabulary-The new Redesigned SAT will have a heavy focus on in context vocab. Pay attention to any unfamiliar words as they may be asked. Tone words are especially important.

What is evidence based reading? Evidence based reading tests a student’s ability to read and analyze primary sources. Instead of summary articles, these primary texts are oftentimes written by historical figures.

Examples of primary texts include famous speeches like FDR’s Day of Infamy speech and JFK’s inaugural address. Students will also encounter advanced literary excerpts from authors like Gabriel Garcia Marquez, Dickens, Ibsen, and more.
