SAT Sentence completion has around 19 questions to be answered and accounts for
25% marks of the Critical Reading section. These questions are similar to filling
blanks that you practiced in school. Each sentence will consist of one or more blanks
and approximately 5 choices will be provided per blank. You can choose to fill the
blanks and complete the sentence in any order provided it makes sense. The answer
is always hidden in the question and hence understanding the sentence will lead
you to the solution.
To understand each sentence in the SAT Sentence Completion part, you need to practice
a few sentences and sample tests and also try to find the relation between each
of the examples. There are certain clues that can be taken from them and thus a
particular pattern can be followed to find the answer, for e.g. you can look for
fillers in the sentence or words connecting a long sentence. These will help you
analyze the sentence properly.
It is also necessary to be equipped with a good vocabulary in order to complete
the SAT sentence completion successfully. You can go through the many wordlists
that are available. These wordlists have words that have appeared often in SA tests
and passages. There are also certain new words which bear the same meaning to a
word that has appeared often. Such words also should be learned so that incase it
is used in tests to come, you will be able to interpret it.
The SAT Sentence Completion is the easiest of all the parts of the SAT Test and
hence if you practice properly then you will surely secure full marks in this area.
For this, you can pick the wordlists and try and learn at least 20-25 words a week.
Students who have been used to reading books and novels throughout their school
days will have an advantage too.
