Sentence Correction Strategy

• Strategy for SC:
  1. Write down "A B C D E" on your paper.
  2. Read the sentence, nothing any obvious errors as you read.
  3. Scan the answer choices vertically - do not read them - looking for differences that split the answer choices.
  4. Choose a split for which you know the grammatical rule and which side of the split is correct.
  5. Cross out the answer choices that include the incorrect side of the split.
  6. Compare the answer choices by re-splitting.
  7. Continue to split remaining choices until you have one answer left. 
• Make sure you read the entire sentence, as often important words are placed far from the underlined portion.
• Double check that your answer works in the context of the entire sentence.
