These questions are aligned to the New York State Next Generation English Language Arts and Mathematics Learning Standards. The pages that follow provide tips for answering the revising/editing and the reading comprehension questions.  \nOverview of Revising/Editing Part A  \nThe language skills assessed in this section are based on the Language section of the New York State’s learning standards for Grade 7, as well as skills or standards that may have been introduced in earlier grades. Each question directs you to read a sentence, a list of sentences, or a paragraph with numbered sentences. Then you are asked to address issues related to conventions of language or punctuation. Examples include  \n■ selecting the best correction for an error  \n■ identifying a sentence with an error  \n■ improving the writing by combining sentences or revising part of a sentence  \n\n|  Tips for Revising/Editing Part A |  |  |\n| --- | --- | --- |\n| First, read the question. | ➤ | For most items, read the question first rather than reading the text first so that you know what type of issue to look for while reading the text. |\n| Next, read the text in the box and take noteson the issues you observe, while being mindful of time. | ➤ | Are there words, phrases, or sentences that are difficult to read due to an error in language usage or punctuation? |\n|  | ➤ | Is there any part of the text that could be written more clearly, concisely, or precisely? |\n|  | ➤ | Quickly mark up the text when you notice an issue. This may help you to select an answer option. |\n|  | ➤ | Keep in mind that your notes should focus on the specific topic of the question. |\n| Plan your time. \u003Cbr>\u003Cbr>| ➤ | Before test day, plan how much time you will spend on Part A; this will help you to be efficient when answering each question on test day. |\n\nSAMPLE QUESTIONS FOR REVISING/EDITING PART A  \nSample 1: Select the sentence that needs a revision.  \nWhich sentence in the paragraph should be revised to correct an inappropriate shift in verb tense?   \n(1) For 14 years, James and his dad have had a tradition of attending Yankees games together, but James is leaving for college next week, and he is agonizing over the fact that attending school in Pennsylvania and working there over the summer meant no more games with his dad. (2) One night, as James is packing his clothes into boxes, he hears a soft knock on his bedroom door. (3) As soon as he opens the door, James sees what is in his dad’s hands and feels a rush of joy. (4) His dad is holding a bus ticket for a trip home on a weekend in the spring so that father and son can attend a Yankees game together!  \nA. Sentence 1  \nB. Sentence 2  \nC. Sentence 3  \nD. Sentence 4  \nTo determine the best revisions for this paragraph, read Sentence 1 in the paragraph. If a revision does not need to be made, continue reading each sentence and answer option until you find the correct answer.  \nSample 1 Explanation  \n(A) The sentence is written in the present tense; the verb “meant” shifts incorrectly into past tense. This verb should instead appear in the future tense,“will mean,” since the verb refers to how things will be in the future. The corrected sentence will then read,“For 14 years, James and his dad have had a tradition of attending Yankees games together, but James is leaving for college next week, and he is agonizing over the fact that attending school in Pennsylvania and working there over the summer will mean no more games with his dad.”The present tense,“means,” could also be used, as James appears to be coming to this realization in present time. The use of“means” would make the corrected sentence read as follows: “For 14 years, James and his dad have had a tradition of attending Yankees games together, but James is leaving for college next week, and he is agonizing over the fact that attending school i","cbCaihMMqq6Intg1","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaihMMqq6Intg1","pdf",884760,24,"English","# Overview of Revising/Editing Part A\n## Sample Questions for Revising/Editing Part A","[{\"question\":\"How many revising/editing and reading comprehension questions are in this SHSAT English Language Arts section?\",\"answer\":\"The section includes 57 multiple-choice questions that assess revising/editing skills and reading comprehension.\"},{\"question\":\"What types of skills does Revising/Editing Part A test?\",\"answer\":\"It tests language conventions and punctuation, including selecting the best correction, identifying sentences with errors, and improving writing by revising parts of sentences or combining sentences.\"},{\"question\":\"How should test-takers approach Part A sample question Answering?\",\"answer\":\"They should read the question first, then read the text carefully while taking notes on issues related to the question, and plan time in advance to stay efficient during the test day.\"}]","SHSAT Preparation Guide 2023 - English | PDF"]
