Commonly tested topics

[GonzaloB919]

Hi,

Which are the most commonly tested topics in CR and Sentence correction?

Thanks!

in CR the main event is "strengthen"/"weaken"/"evaluate"/"explain", all of which are essentially the same (the only differences are superficial).

[RonPurewal]

in SC, if you can spot and resolve these issues, you should be good to go for more than %90 of the problems:
• parallelism
• pronouns
• choice between different modifiers
• placement (when words are moved around ... what should be placed next to what else?)
• overall sentence structure (is it a sentence? vs. run-on/fragment/etc)
• S-V agreement
• verb tenses (BASICS ONLY)

[RonPurewal]

notice that "meaning" is not an element of the list above, because meaning interacts fundamentally with EVERYTHING on the list.

well, ok, not overall sentence structure (= the only purely mechanical topic in the list)... but ALL of the other ones.
