Top 10 New SAT Reading Tips
4 These 10 top tips for New SAT Reading below from SAT Expert Chris Lele will greatly improve your odds of success on the Redesigned SAT Reading section! #1 Read on Your Own Time in Preparation for New SAT Reading Those who do well on, or improve quickly at the SAT reading sections are those who read outside of class. I have absolutely no scientific research to back this up, but I speculate that when you are not reading under some constant time crunch, the way it typically is for school, your ââ¬Å"reading brainâ⬠can immerse itself more deeply in what you are reading. You arenââ¬â¢t trying to rush to the end, answer the requisite homework questions and then move on with your life. In this more contemplative mode, your brain is more likely to make deeper connections with the prose you are reading, and you are going to be more likely to take the time to consult a dictionary on the tough patches you encounter. Furthermore, those who are used to reading for long stretches of time and from a range of texts, are more likely to feel comfortable and confident on the new SAT Reading section come test day. This sentiment came through clearly in a survey we conducted with over 100 students who took the March 2016 SAT. When asked what advice theyd give to students who were taking the exam in the future, those who already took it noted reading in your day to day life as one of the most important long-term strategies. #2 Read Far and Wide to Improve your Range for New SAT Reading The SAT reading sections consist of five reading passages. Each is drawn from completely different resources. To give you an idea, Iââ¬â¢ve excerpted the first few lines from each of the five reading passages from an SAT practice test. Passage #1 Akira came directly, breaking all tradition. Was that it? Had he followed formââ¬âhad he asked his mother to speak to his father to approach a go-betweenââ¬âwould Chie have been more receptive? -Lydia Minatoyaââ¬â¢s, The Strangeness of Beauty Passage #2 Every day, millions of shoppers hit the stores in full forceââ¬âboth online and on footââ¬âsearching frantically for the perfect gift. Last year, Americans spent over $30 billion at retail stores in the month of December alone. -Francis J. Flynn and Gabrielle S. Adams, ââ¬Å"Money Canââ¬â¢t Buy Love: Asymmetric Beliefs about Gift Price and Feelings of Appreciation.â⬠Passage #3 The chemical formula of deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) is now well established. The molecule is a very long chain, the backbone of which consists of a regular alteration of sugar and phosphate groups. -J.D. Waston and F.H.C. Crick, ââ¬Å"Genetic Implications of the Structure of Deoxyribonucleic Acidâ⬠Passage #4 Close at hand is a bridge over the River Thames, an admirable vantage ground for us to make a survey. The river flows beneath; barges pass, laden with timber, bursting with corn; there on one side are the domes and spires of the city; on the other, Westminster and the Houses of Parliament. -Virgina Woolf, Three Guineas Passage #5 Dual-Passage passage First passage Follow the money and you will end up in space. Thatââ¬â¢s he message from a first-of-its-kind forum on mining beyond Earth. -Michael Slezak, ââ¬Å"Space Mining: the Next Gold Rush?â⬠Second passage The motivation for deep-space travel is shifting from discovery to economics. The past year has seen a flurry of proposals aimed at bringing celestial riches down to Earth. -Editors of New Scientist, ââ¬Å"Taming the Final Frontier.â⬠à Youââ¬â¢ll likely find some of the writing above relatively straightforward, some a little bit more difficult to get through. The SAT intentionally varies the reading difficulty throughout the section. It wants to see how well test takers can handle different levels of textual complexity. Most readers will not struggle with the textual complexity found in Passage #1 and the first passage of the dual passages. Here, the challenge might be trying to read the passage relatively quickly and retain much of what youââ¬â¢ve read. Most students will do well on these passages. Passages like Passage #4, on the other hand, are much more difficult. The sentences are long (check out all those semicolons!) and in the case of Passage #4 the writing is not direct, itââ¬â¢s evocative, calling to mind a certain time and place.à Sometimes the text will be challenging because it is taken from a source written hundreds of years ago, when the style of language was very different from what we have today. To be familiar with the kind of language and the complexity of ideas explored in these passages, you need to read far and wide, but donââ¬â¢t worry, you donââ¬â¢t have to pick books at random. Below are the different areas in which the SAT draws from: 1) 19th century literature This might be the most difficult type of passage for students. This shouldnââ¬â¢t be too surprising since the reading is not only dense and complex but features phrases and words that are no longer in common use. The best way to improve your comprehension isââ¬âdrum roll!ââ¬âreading 19th century literature. You might already have to read the Bronte sisters or Charles Dickens in school. If so, consider yourself lucky (I know, it might be tough to make that rationalization). However, if you arenââ¬â¢t, youââ¬â¢ll want to pick up a book and start reading. The great thing is youââ¬â¢ll start to pick up on the language and sentence patterns sooner than you think, and thatââ¬â¢s often because many of these books make for great reading, youââ¬â¢ll find yourself zipping along once you get past the first few chapters. Also, you donââ¬â¢t have to read the real complex stuff. Doyleââ¬â¢s Sherlock Holmes, Bram Stokerââ¬â¢s Dracula, Mary Shelleyââ¬â¢s Frankenstein are classics for a reason. Iââ¬â¢d recommend starting with one of these, if you are unsure how to begin. 2) Opinion pieces in contemporary magazines, newspapers, etc. These pieces of writing often form the dual passages. You can find much of this level of writing in The New York Times and The Atlantic Monthly. The key is to look for the essays in the op-ed section for the New York Time, the monthly articles from the Atlantic. If you donââ¬â¢t know where to start, here is an intriguing article that Iââ¬â¢ve been having my students read for years. In fact, this authorââ¬â¢s writing (not this specific article) is used in one of the dual passages on a College Board practice test.à à www.theatlantic.com/magazine/archive/2008/07/is-google-making-us-stupid/306868/ 3) Modern ethnic fiction ââ¬Å"Ethnic fictionâ⬠is my tag to describe a work of fiction in which the main character is from a different country or is a hyphenated-American: Chinese-American, African-American, Mexican-American, etc. I donââ¬â¢t think anyone necessarily needs to practice this kind of reading. It is usually low in textual complexity. Passage #1 is one such example. 4) Informative pieces (often science) These pieces focus on some specific issue from the natural world. Their aim is to inform. Often, these pieces discuss something drawn from science.à The writing, however, is not technical (remember, the aim is to inform). Sometimes, the pieces are based on economics (see Passage #2 above).à Other times they are sociological, meaning they deal with a certain aspect of collective human behavior ( ) This is the type of reading that you might not do a lot of in high school but that is all around us. Pick up an issue of Scientific American or Discover and youââ¬â¢ll see articles that might be titled ââ¬Å"Are we related to the Neanderthalsâ⬠, ââ¬Å"Have scientist been vastly underestimating the number of planets in the Milky Way. Offering some similar science-based writing, but focusing more on politics and economics, The Atlantic Monthly offers great articles that are similar in textual complexity as those on the SAT reading section (who knows, perhaps the College Board might even lift an article from the Atlantic to use on the test you end up taking). For those who are interested in current affairs/state of the world, this is a great way to learn about these things and beef up your reading. If you are already strong in this area, though, you might want to focus your spare reading time in areas, say 19th century literature, in which you might be weaker. Finally, the Best Science and Nature Writing, which is released each year, is a collection of great non-technical science writing. Youââ¬â¢ll likely be surprised at how well these pieces draw you in, and help give you insight and appreciation into an issue you likely never thought about before. 5) Technical science Okay, Iââ¬â¢ll be honest. Iââ¬â¢m not expecting you to start reading the Harvard Medical Journal (not even sure if that would help in anyway) but more pragmatically, you might want to be even more diligent in studying for your science tests and pay special attention to graphs (there will usually be two graph-related questions accompanying this passage type).à If you are comfortable with the reading in science textbooks, this shouldnââ¬â¢t be too much of an issue. If not, I recommend reading the more technical articles from Scientific American. Here is one example:à The Black Hole Collision That Reshaped Physics #3à Challenge Yourselfâ⬠¦But Not Too Much This tip is closely related to tip #2. When you are reading far and wide, basically in the way described in points 1-5 above, you will want to make sure not to choose something that is so difficult that you feel you donââ¬â¢t really understand most of what you are reading. Sometimes itââ¬â¢s hard to know exactly when youââ¬â¢ve crossed the line from ââ¬Å"merely hardâ⬠to ââ¬Å"what the heck is this saying?!â⬠Often, we get bored and struggle to focus when reading is relatively challenging. That is not a bad thing, necessarily, and is a hurdle that you can overcome. Contrast to, trying to read an excerpt from 18th century philosopher, who apparently never heard of a periodââ¬âand who is discussing some arcane matter in a high abstractly way. During your SAT prep, you might never get comfortable with the highest level of textual complexity; the main thing, though, is that you find the level that you are a little bit uncomfortable at. Start reading at this level until you become more confident. Then, up the level so that once again you are a little uncomfortable. Maybe, the article linked in tip #2, ââ¬Å"Is Google Making Us Stupidâ⬠was a little too challenging at first. Try something slightly easier and come back to it in a couple of weeks. #4à Take Mental Notes on SAT Reading Passages Reading is not a linear process. Or at least it shouldnââ¬â¢t be. So donââ¬â¢t read, stringing word on word, hoping that meaning and epiphany will emerge in the final sentence. You should read for meaning. To do so, pause every few sentences, paraphrasing what youââ¬â¢ve just read. Far from costing you time, simplifying what youââ¬â¢ve read by reflecting back on it will help you retain more information. You wonââ¬â¢t spend time going back and rereading sentences. Indeed, youââ¬â¢ll likely develop a deeper understanding of what youââ¬â¢ve read and youââ¬â¢ll end the passage knowing the general ideas. This will help you answer the questions much faster! #5à Travel Back To The 19th Century I know, Iââ¬â¢ve already mentioned this. Writing, either fiction or non-fiction from the 19th century (or even 18th, as youââ¬â¢ll sometimes see on the test) is very difficult to understand. à At first. Spending time with these texts will help you on the SAT reading section and will even help you in certain undergraduate courses, especially if you decide to go the Humanities route. For a more in-depth take on the books to read, see tip #2. #6à Become Familiar With The New SAT Reading Question Types Once youââ¬â¢ve become relatively comfortable with the reading, you should begin with the passages. I would have never recommended this with the old SAT, in which getting the question right had so much to do with understanding the traps in the answer choices. Sure, there are some traps or at least issues with the answer choices (see tip #7), but so much has to do with comprehension that it best to follow New SAT Reading Tips 1-5 as soon as possible. Not to be forgotten are the new question types. You should be comfortable with these before taking your actual SAT. Potentially, the most confusing redesigned SAT question type is the evidence-based reading, which has never been part of the SAT, or for that matter the ACT, PSAT, GMAT, GRE, MCAT, LSAT, (insert standardized test here). You donââ¬â¢t really need to worry too much about this question, as long as you understand the format, which Iââ¬â¢ll describe below. Evidence-based reasoning questions will always be made up of two questions. The first question will be a standard SAT question. The thing is it usually will not contain a line reference. In other words, you wonââ¬â¢t know where in the passage to look. Which reaction does Akira most fear from Chie? A) She will consider his proposal inappropriate. B) She will mistake his earnestness for immaturity. C) She will consider his unscheduled visit an imposition. D) She will underestimate the sincerity of his emotions. Which choice provides the best evidence for the answer to the previous question? A) Line 33 (ââ¬Å"His voice . . . refinedâ⬠) B) Lines 49-51(ââ¬Å"You . . . mindâ⬠) C) Lines 63-64 (ââ¬Å"Please . . . proposalâ⬠) D) Lines 71-72 (ââ¬Å"Eager . . . faceâ⬠) Another reason Iââ¬â¢m putting so much focus on this question type is that there is a way to ââ¬Å"game itâ⬠. What I mean by that is you can approach this question using a helpful strategy that the test writers themselves wouldnââ¬â¢t tell you about: do both questions at the same time. The logic here is the following: notice how the first question doesnââ¬â¢t give you any indication of where in the passage to look. You can likely spend precious time trying to figure out where in the passage to find the information. Orâ⬠¦and here is the big partâ⬠¦you can look at the second question first. Specifically, note how each of the four answer choices gives you a specific line. One of these lines is the answer to the question. So here are the steps to follow: 1) Read the question in the first of the two evidence-based reading questions (ââ¬Å"Which reaction does Akira most fear from Chie?â⬠) 2) Go back to the lines referenced in A) through D) in the second question, keeping the question above in mind. 3) Once youââ¬â¢ve chosen the line that best answers that question, go back to the answer choices in the first question. It should be much easier now, identifying the correct answer. Other question types youââ¬â¢ll have to know about are vocabulary in-context. These questions will ask you to figure out how I a specific word is used in the context of the passage. As used in line 68, ââ¬Å"holdâ⬠most nearly means A) maintain. B) grip. C) restrain. D) withstand. Do not think, hmmâ⬠¦when you hold something you grip it. Always go back to the passage and see how the word is used in the sentence. This might seem straightforward, but you might miss a question that you could otherwise answer correctly unless you are methodical in your approach. Here is a good strategy: 1) Read question and look back to the quoted line in the text (in this case line 68). Do not go directly down to the answers. 2) Read one sentence above where the quoted word appears. Read up to the quoted word, but donââ¬â¢t actually read the word. Instead, think of your own basic word that would go in the blank. 3) See which one of the answer choices your word is closest to. #7à Understand Why You Chose The Wrong Answer on the SAT (Think Like The Test Writers) Even when you understand the passage, there is no guarantee that you are going to correctly answer the question. Some of the answer choices are close to the correct answer, but not quite. Here are some traps that the SAT continues to use, though not quite as deviously as they did on the old test. One trick the test will use is to have an answer that would be correct were it not for one word or phrase that invalidates the answer choice. The reason this is tricky is students, especially under a time crunch, are likely to grab onto words that sound familiar and right, while discounting the one or two words that are fishy. The test writers also create correct answers in language that isnââ¬â¢t as straightforward as the trap answer. That way you really have to focus on what the answer choice is saying. When you choose a wrong answer, assuming you understood the passage, there are other common mistakes you are likely to make. Here are a few: 1) Misreading the question Sometimes the question says ââ¬Å"disagreeâ⬠but you read ââ¬Å"agreeâ⬠. Other times you might read the wrong line reference. This might seem unlikely to happen to you, but remember under timed pressure, so you are likely to speed up slightly. That can lead to these sorts of careless errors. 2) Correct answer but for a different part of the passage Sometimes an answer can be correct, meaning that it is clearly supported by the passage. However, that answer choice doesnââ¬â¢t really answer the question. In other words, the question isnââ¬â¢t asking about the part of the passage you are looking at. This kind of error isnââ¬â¢t too common, but you should be aware of it. Being familiar with these different kinds of error types should help you identifying why you missed a question. This knowledge will help you be on guard against a similar mistake in the future. #8à Identify Parts of the Redesigned SAT Reading Passage You ââ¬Å"Just Didnââ¬â¢t Getâ⬠This goes back to the idea of understanding your reading level and improving at it. One way to do this is on SAT passages themselves. On harder passages, youââ¬â¢ll notice there will be certain areas in which you struggle. After you have finished doing the questions, go back and reread this part. Without the time pressure you are likely to understand these parts better. If not, consult a dictionary. Another useful strategy is to come back to difficult passages or parts of passages an hour or so later. Your brain will have had time to rest and you are likely to see the passage in a different light. This effect can become even more pronounced if you wait an entire day before rereading the passage. #9à Read The Entire SAT Reading Passage First I know, itââ¬â¢s really tempting to skip reading altogether and go straight to the questions. After all, canââ¬â¢t you just read the question and then go to the line reference to answer the question? The answer is yes, you can. However, this is potentially dangerous. To confidently answer a question, you need to be able to understand the context of the passage, the big picture. By pecking away at little bits of the passage, you can only see the trees thereby missing the proverbial forest. If thatââ¬â¢s not enough to dissuade you from this approach, the test writers intentionally write questions that require you to look at multiple parts of the passage. Not really understanding how does parts of the passage tie together, which is what will happen unless you read the entire passage first, can make it very difficult to answer the question correctly. Indeed, youââ¬â¢ll likely spend much time flailing about the passage trying to figure it out. #10à Find Your Ideal Reading Speedâ⬠¦and Then Slowly Increase It Pacing is a huge component of the new reading test. After all, you will have to dispatch 52 questions and 5 passages in a mere 65 minutes. Given this constant time pressure, students are always in flight-or-fight mode when they are preparing. I think that it is good to get psyched up for SAT Reading practice, but it is very important to breathe. It is also important to slow down a little so you can figure out what your optimal retention is. What I mean by that is you want to be able to absorb some of what you are reading. If you read really fast, say 90 seconds for the entire passage, you are likely to retain very little. If you spend 5 minutes on the passage, taking notes, you might retain quite a lot. This second option is not very optimal. So you have to find the reading speed in which you are retaining enough information. Whatââ¬â¢s ââ¬Å"enoughâ⬠? Well, by the end of the passage you should be able to, in words an intelligent 5th grader can understand, summarize five main points that the article discusses. If it is a narrative or story, you should be able to describe the arc of the story in about five sentences. If you are able to do this you can speed up a little, but do not speed up if you are struggling to come up with your five sentence summaries. Likely, you are already reading to fast.

Duke Ellington Research Paper Topics and Interests
Duke Ellington Research Paper Topics and InterestsDuke Ellington Research Paper Topics and Interests: An overview of the Ellington studies that have taken place. I want to discuss with you what you are likely to find in the areas of their interest, for this will give you a general idea as to what kind of person they were.Although we all think of Ellington as a charismatic, highly gifted and highly experienced musician, this is not true. Ellington was not all that interested in jazz. He liked to play blues and even the blues he was writing about was probably most comparable to what you would call blue soul jazz. He loved and enjoyed playing the traditional popular music that most of us would find difficult to listen to.Now that he had achieved fame and success, Ellington became involved in more commercial jazz, which he felt would match the demands of his new fame. That being said, he wrote for many years on subjects related to such popular jazz musicians as Dizzy Gillespie, Coleman H awkins, Bix Beiderbecke, Art Tatum, Freddie Hubbard, Jimmy Rushing, Clifford Brown, and Charlie Christian. However, his most famous work, especially 'Blue In Green' for which he received his first Grammy nomination, was written and arranged for his younger fans.Duke Ellington Research Paper Topics and Interests: Ellington never really had a favorite topic. His songs were organized by his taste and his interest and this meant that he wrote about just about anything that happened to catch his attention. Although his favorite subject matter was usually jazz, he also wrote about the geography, nature, history, nature, poetry, art, women's issues, world events, politics, aviation, the law, and even religion.Ellington's flair for comedy shows in his most popular songs, particularly his ballads. These songs show a sense of humor that was occasionally coming across as hyperbole, but the content was genuine. Although the song titles were always personal in nature, often beginning with Elling ton's surname (Ellington), these songs still are funny and often come off as being his attempt at satire or public relations for his musical work.Duke Ellington Research Paper Topics and Interests: Ellington was not much of a politician or a public relations person. He was also not known for holding any political office in any capacity. This may seem odd, but if one reads his lyrics closely, this could not be further from the truth.Ellington was not an aspiring candidate for the presidency. He was also not a big fan of the military service to which so many young Americans today to sign up, although he did not feel this had anything to do with his writing.Duke Ellington Research Paper Topics and Interests: Ellington always showed more interest in his own life and his own music than in the lives of those who wrote about him. It was his talent that carried him and his music did that.
