3. Testing Strategies Read question first 2 above, 2 below
Some questions you don’t even need to read the passage (specifically the writing questions) so read them first to know what to look for and where
2 above, 2 below
If a question asks about a specific line from the passage, you ALWAYS need to read the 2 line above it and the 2 lines after it to get the gist of the line

4. Sentence Types!!!
Independent clause= subject (who/what sentence is about) + verb (action) + complete thought
Miss Camacho is from California.
Dependent clause= subject (who/what sentence is about) + verb (action) + NO complete thought
Because Miss Camacho is from California
If you could put (…) at the end of the clause, it is dependent

5. Simple
1 independent clause
Miss Camacho likes mac-n-cheese

6. Compound
1 independent clause + comma+ conjunction (for and nor but or yet so) + 1 independent clause
California has beautiful sunsets, so Miss Camacho like to take pictures.

7. Complex 1 independent clause + 1 dependent clause
