SAT Sentence Completion Questions: When to Guess?

SAT Sentence Completion Questions: When To Guess?

Hi, I’m Karl Schellscheidt welcome to eprep. I want to talk to for a couple of minutes about the sentence completion questions in the critical reading section. Sentence completion is when they give you a sentence and they leave one or two blanks and you’re then asked to fill in the blank or blanks with the answer choices.

My advice is this, if you can read the sentence and fill in the blank on your own on what word you think would go in there and then look through the answer choices and either find that word or one that would means the same thing that’s ideal you pick and you move on.

Let’s say your vocabulary is not great. You think you know what word would go in and you look through the list and you don’t see that word anywhere. But you do see two answer choices that you do know the definition of and you know that those two don’t work; they don’t fit into the sentence. So cross out those two eliminate them you then have three left and even if you don’t know what the three words mean statically speaking it’s to your advantage to guess at this point. If you can eliminate two or more answers go for it and guess. But ultimately you might be right before the SAT’s you might not be able to improve your vocabulary in the next week.

For the younger students who may be watching this video, if you get started freshman, sophomore even at the beginning of junior year working on your vocabulary you can make a huge huge difference in your critical reading score. I have a pretty good vocabulary. I go through the sentence completion questions a lot with students and their easy for me not because I’ve seen them before but because I know what all the words mean.

So ultimately if you know what the words mean you have a great vocabulary it’s going to be easy for you. If you don’t your running out of time don’t panic. Again, try to pick a word that would fit in your own mind. See if you can find it or one that means the same thing. And if you can’t and you only know two words out of the five and you know they don’t work cross them out and guess; that’s the way you maximize your score

JK asked:


I am a student taking the SAT for the CTY talent search. I know the requirements differ from 500 in Reading, and 580 in Math for certain program entrances. I am wondering what is the average score for the 7th graders who take the SAT for the CTY talent search.
I actually got a 2000… O.o

I said that 580 on the Math and 500 on the Reading were the REQUIREMENTS.

How Can You Improve Your Chances of Being Admitted to the College of Your Choice?

Monday, March 9th, 2009
Groshan Fabiola asked:


Getting into a prestigious college can seem like a daunting task, given the limited spaces and the intense competition. In light of the complexity of the college admission process and the consequences that success or failure may have, it is important to make good use of every chance that you have to increase your child’s chances of getting into the college of your choice.

One important step towards getting into college is making the right choice of that institution – selecting an institution that matches your needs and goals. A college guide can make a big difference in the final outcome. Picking the most appropriate college to your student’s needs and abilities is very important, as it increases his or her chances of being admitted. How can a college guide help? Before making a choice, the students need to be informed. Furthermore, they need to assess their skills correctly. A college guide can help you do this exactly. Students and their parents often tend to opt for colleges for reasons such as the prestige of the institution, without considering other important factors. Lack of information and inappropriate or incomplete evaluation of the student’s abilities may lead to a wrong choice of college, and subsequently to failure. You must also keep in mind that many institutions are forced to turn down many talented students because of the lack of available space compared to the huge amount of applications that they receive.

Getting into college no longer has to be that all or nothing experience that most students and their parents fear. Getting into college can be an achievable experience, provided you start well. Therefore, making a good choice of college is very important, and a college guide can provide valuable help.

Meeting the specific requirements of the college as far as extracurricular activities, diverse education and community participation are concerned is also very important. However, if you are already in your senior year and have not given serious thought to these aspects when you should have, or you did not choose a strong curriculum that would have met these requirements, you need to focus on the parts that are most heavily weighed by colleges and universities, i.e. testing and the admission essay. Test prep classes or boot camps will make a great difference where your SAT scores are concerned. The study for these academic tests should not be overwhelming, which is why private SAT boot camps are probably the best way to raise your scores considerably. The college essay and the recommendation letters are also important parts of the admission process. They become all the more important if the college of your choice has minimum test scores.

Admission to college may depend a great deal on the essay you write. For many students, the college essay is one of the most important things that he or she ever writes. Therefore, as an important step in the college admission process, you should not overlook the valuable essay help that you can receive from professionals who have a wealth of experience in this field and whose input has helped thousands of students get into prestigious institutions, such as Harvard, Yale, Stanford, Cornell, MIT, Princeton and Columbia.

It goes without saying that the essay should have no spelling or grammar errors, and this is the main reason way you should seek essay help. But essay help goes way beyond making sure that there are no such errors in your essay. We are talking about quality research and editing, and help within a short time frame (usually up to five days). Even if you think that you can manage writing your essay, it is highly recommended that you seek essay help. The essay that you write should convey your character; furthermore, it should do so in a concise and interesting way. Achieving this and making your essay one of your strong points is now possible with essay help.

If a college application asks for my composite SAT score can I use my 2 best scores?

Friday, March 6th, 2009
Cammy asked:


I took the SAT twice and the first time I got a 550 in math and a 650 in critical reading, the second time I took it I got a 480 in math and a 690 in critical reading. On some college applications it asks for my composite SAT score, can I add the math from the first time I took the SAT to the critical reading from the second time I took the SAT (It would be a 1240)? Or would this be cheating?
