Reading & Writing · Domain · ~26%
Standard English Conventions
Standard English Conventions is ~26% — punctuation boundaries and grammar inside the sentence. It is the closest thing the Digital SAT still has to a rules test.
What is in this domain
Boundaries (how sentences join) and Form, Structure, and Sense (agreement, tense, modifiers, parallelism).
Weight on the test
About 7 items per module. Count clauses for BOU. Cross out junk for FSS. These should be the fastest points on the section if you have the rules.
