Chapter 2 Evidence-Based Reading

I.What is Evidence-Based Reading?

The redesigned SAT included a new section called Evidence-Based Reading and Writing.The section combines multiple-choice questions on reading comprehension, grammar, writing mechanics, rhetoric, context-based reasoning, and use of evidence in support of conclusions and inferences.According to the College Board, students will be explicitly asked to identify or evaluate evidence in the passage in support of some concluding statement, and will be asked to evaluate evidence presented in informational graphics to draw a conclusion.

Understanding the term evidence-based reading is crucial in redesigned SAT reading.Students should be able to connect claims with supporting evidences.Students are asked to support their answers with evidence in questions which require them to cite a specific part of a passage to support the answer choice.
