Master the grammar you need to know to ace the Writing Section of the SAT!

Unlike other apps and prep books, this material was created by a top Stanford graduate who scored a perfect 800 on the SAT Verbal section and has been teaching SAT preparation for the last 15 years.

GO BEYOND TIPS AND TRICKS

Practice (alone) doesn’t make perfect! Truly understand the grammar, usage, word choice, and idioms behind the SAT multiple-choice questions, especially the following types:
• Improving Sentences
• Identifying Sentence Errors

LIKE HAVING A PERSONAL TUTOR

Using the same one-on-one teaching techniques refined over the years with actual students, the app will explain to you the grammar rules you were never fully taught, and show you the grammar errors people often make (and the SAT often uses).
• Lesson mode covers each topic from basic concept to advanced application.
• “Progressive reveal” helps you absorb the material step-by-step, at your own pace.

INTERACTIVE EXERCISES

Draw distinct markups to actively deconstruct sentences into key components, so you can isolate grammatical errors quickly.
• The innovative “markup engine” translates your strokes into sentence markups.
• Ask for a hint if you need it, before you reveal the answer.
• Compare your work with the answer key below it, for sentence error and deconstruction.
• Get a detailed explanation of why the exercise sentence is correct or incorrect.

CREATOR CREDENTIALS

• Graduated from Stanford University, with distinction, in top 5 people of class year
