Take the challenge, set your timer, and do the best you can on some of these SAT Practice mini-tests. This one http://www.majortests.com/sat/editing-in-context-test01 is 12 minutes to do 12 questions after a brief reading.
Remember, many scholars do poorly in this section perhaps because many of you have grown up with Spell-Checking services. Begin to grow that great muscle!

Begin TODAY.
Read more than the prescribed time, dig deeper and get a better handle on necessary skills to be more successful.
Reading everyday improves:
1. reading stamina
2. increases and re-enforces vocabulary
3. ability to more readily assess materials
4. critical thinking
5. inferencing and making connections
So that you can become a proficient reader so the SATs won't kick your BUTT!
