11 Absolute Patterns in Reading Section The entire 52 questions in the reading section, both literary and informational passages, can be categorized into three parts: Category A: Content Question; Category B: Technique Question; Category C: Integrated Question. These three categories can be subcategorized into eleven patterns. Applying these 11 patterns-mostly one pattern per question -plus 20 incorrect choice patterns will be absolutely the most effective and systemic way to improve your scores. 24 Patterns in Writing & Language SectionThe entire Writing and Language Section uses these patterns. CollegeBoard SAT creates the questions based on these patterns. Instead of solving each individual question endlessly without knowing the patterns and logic, assume that each question is made of a unique formula. Memorize 24 patterns in this chapter and check to see if you are following the patterns. Practice until every pattern becomes natural to you.
