Sentence Correction Process

Back 3

1) Write down "A B C D E" on your yellow tablet

2) Read the sentence, noting 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) On your paper, cross out the answer choices that include the incorrect side of the split

6) Compare the remaining answer choices by re-splitting. Continue to find differences in the answers, but make sure that you use only the answer choices that remain from your initial split

7) Continue to split remaining choices until you have one answer left

8) After you have made your choice, double-check that your answer works in the context of the entire sentence
