Frequently Asked Questions
What is the TTA method for solving SAT logical and precise word questions?
The TTA method involves: 1) Ignore choices and understand sentence logic, 2) Define the relationship between sentence parts (support, contrast, cause, complement), 3) Predict your own word, 4) Match your prediction to the choices, 5) Test the winner by rereading the sentence.
How do you distinguish between logical and precise words on the SAT?
A logical word makes sense in context, while a precise word has the exact shade of meaning required, with no extra or missing implications. Multiple words may be logical, but only one is precise.
What is the correct answer to the example SAT question about Mars craters?
The correct answer is 'complementary' because seismic monitoring and orbital imaging work together: seismic monitoring finds the rough location, and orbital imaging precisely locates the crater.
