There will be 10 to 11 questions after each passage; questions following the related passages will be both specific to each passage as well as addressing the relationship between the two passages.  \nAll passages will require you to provide evidence and to analyze.  \n1. Evidence  \n􀁸 How does this evidence contribute to the argument?  \n􀁸 This evidence could be used to support which of the following claims?  \n􀁸 If this evidence were to change, how would the overall argument change?  \n􀁸 The author uses which piece of evidence to support the claim made in paragraph------?  \n􀁸 Which of the following statements contradicts the author’s claim?  \n􀁸 Which point is implicit in Paragraph----and explicit in Paragraph----?  \n2. Analysis  \n􀁸 Analyze the argument.  \n􀁸 Analyze what would happen to the author’s argument if he/she used this word instead of that one.  \n􀁸 Analyze the pattern across two texts. Analyze for tone, analyze the change, and analyze the conclusion.  \nKeys to Success  \n1. Know your speed  \n􀁸 You will have about 50 seconds per question.  \n􀁸 Practice until you “know your own speed.”  \n􀁸 If you run out of time, AMPUTATE (Choose either the subject area you find most difficult or the last passage, which is sometimes the hardest.)  \n􀁸 BUT, leave time to guess and fill in answers. NEVER, EVER leave anything blank: THERE IS NO PENALTY FOR GUESSING!  \n2. Trust the passage  \n􀁸 While outside information is not needed, passages rarely contradict conventional wisdom.  \n􀁸 However, don’t assume you know what the passage is going to say….read it!  \n3. Always guess  \n􀁸 Again, NEVER, EVER leave anything blank: THERE IS NO PENALTY FOR GUESSING!  \n􀁸 Create a system for marking (in the test booklet) those questions you want to return to (“X,” “?”), BUT go ahead and guess and put an answer on your answer sheet.  \n4. Questions are usually in order of the passage.  \n􀁸 This is usually true; but ifit appears NOT to be true, keep the entire focus of the passage in mind.  \n5. Know the directions  \n􀁸 Directions are almost always the same for any edition of the SAT. Unless they seem different, don’t waste time reading them in detail.  \n6. Adopt a positive attitude  \n􀁸 Avoid negative thinking: it slows you down.  \n􀁸 Avoid negative thinking: you are less likely to remember what you read when you are in a negative frame of mind. Psych yourself up and embrace each passage as ifit was the most interesting work you ever read! There is solid science behind this technique.  \n7. Read!  \n􀁸 Read journal articles, newspapers, read a textbook! It will develop stamina for the test and reacquaint you with higher level vocabulary.  \nTypes of Passages  \nPassages on the redesigned SAT tend to me more “academic” than those on the older versions. This is why reading more advanced subject specific material helps in the analysis of each passage.  \n1. Science  \n􀁸 Bad News: You will be expected to understand a wide range of“scientific” vocabulary, the scientific method, evaluation of the scientist’s hypothesis, and analysis of data.  \n􀁸 Good News: Challenging vocabulary and information is usually explained in the passage.  \n2. History/Social Studies  \n􀁸 Founding Documents (primary sources): usually about values, qualities, principles…questions tend to be straightforward: What is the author saying? How does he say it?  \n􀁸 Great Global Conversations (primary sources): usually speeches, letters, papers from famous American, world leaders/persons about ideals such as freedom and justice  \n􀁸 Social Sciences: topics in anthropology, economics, political science, psychology; often uses charts, graphs, statistical data to make points Good News: similar to science section  \nBad News: are expected to know these terms as y","cbCailB3xgYnm2mQ","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCailB3xgYnm2mQ","pdf",134281,"English","# Reading Test Structure\n## Passage and Question Format\n## Evidence and Analysis Skills\n# Question Types\n## Main Idea and Point of View\n## Explicit vs. Implicit Meaning\n## Follow-Up Evidence, Analogy, and Sequence\n# Keys to Success\n## Timing and Guessing Strategy\n## Trust the Passage and Read Actively\n# Types of Passages\n## Science\n## History/Social Studies\n## Literature\n## Paired Passages","[{\"question\":\"How is the SAT Evidence-Based Reading Test (Long Passages) structured?\",\"answer\":\"The section lasts 65 minutes, with FOUR passages of 500–750 words each.
