Cracking the Virginia SOL EOC English: Writing (Princeton Review: Cracking the Virginia SOL)

The Princeton Review realizes that acing the English: Writing exam is very different from getting straight As in school. The Princeton Review doesn't try to teach students everything there is to know about English and writing--only the techniques they'll need to score higher on the exam. There's a big difference. In Cracking the Virginia SOL EOC English: Writing, TPR will teach test takers how to think like the test makers and:

Eliminate incorrect answer choices by using Process of Elimination and other techniques

Organize ideas and stay focused with TPR's special "Writing Frame"

Test knowledge with review questions on each reading and writing concept covered

***This book includes 2 full-length simulated exams. All of TPR's sample test questions are just like the ones test takers will see on the actual end-of-course English: Writing exam, and TPR fully explains every solution.

Contents Include:

I Introduction

Structure and Strategies
II Cracking the Writing Process
