引導語：下面小編為大家整理了SAT考試語法核心考點，希望
一、詞語的正確使用
動詞(單複數，時態，語態，語氣)，代詞(人稱，指代不清，所有格)，名詞(一致)，介詞(固定搭配)易混詞，比較結構。
二、句子結構修改
句子連線，句子殘缺，主從句，平行結構，修飾語位置錯誤
三、文意表達(expression of ideas)
1.行文：提出論點，論據支援，主題相關度和資料資訊(proposition，support，focus，quantitative information)
2.結構：句子先後順序，匯入，結尾和銜接。(Logical sequence, Introductions,
conclusions, and transitions)
3.有效性：
準確：用詞的準確和恰當
簡潔：用詞的不贅餘(避免wordiness和redundancy)
新增考點：
根據文章需要，保持風格，語調和修辭的合適(style，tone and syntax)
四、標點符號(punctuation)
句末標點(End-of-sentence punctuation);
句中標點(Within-sentence punctuation);
五、新增考點：
所有格名詞和代詞(Possessive nouns and pronouns);
詞間標點(Items in a series);
非限制和附加成分(Nonrestrictive and parenthetical elements);
不必要標點(Unnecessary punctuation)
針對這些變化，我們需要注意如下三個問題：
第一、語法答題時間大大縮短，對閱讀速度要求大大提高：
1、改革前，49題35min：25min+10min
25min的Section ：
挑錯題：9min (18題)
句子改進題：7min(11題)
塗卡：2min
文章改進題：7min(6題+1篇文章)
2、改革後，44題35min：4篇文章
塗卡：3min
文章改進題：8min(11題+1篇文章)
從7min/6題，到8min/11題，多了1分鐘，卻加了5道題，閱讀速度要求驟然提升!
而且，語法55%(24題)是語義表達題，45%(20題)是語法題，需要理解上下文的題目因此大大增多了。這對於我們來說，不得不說是一個巨大的挑戰。
第二、語法答題對於詞彙量和閱讀面的考察大大增加。以前的語法題大多是一個或兩個句子，閱讀量很小，甚至不需要讀懂全句，也可以通過技巧予以解決。
改革後，官方檔案裡給出瞭如下一段話，宣稱要讓考生理解完數個句子、段落，甚至是整篇文章，才可以答出問題：
In accord with best practices, the test requires students to answer questions based on extended-prose contexts rather than in isolation or in limited (e.g., single-sentence) contexts. Although some questions are answerable by referring to a single phrase, clause, or sentence, many others leverage the extended context the test’s format makes available and require students to have an understanding of multiple sentences, one or more paragraphs, or the passage as a whole。
本次官方公佈的樣題1裡的最後一題，就是最好例證：
During his career, Kingman exhibited his work internationally. He garnered much acclaim. In 1936, a critic described one of Kingman’s solo exhibits as “twenty of the freshest, most satisfying watercolors that have been seen hereabouts in many a day。” Since Kingman’s death in 2000, museums across the United States and in China have continued to ensure that his now-iconic landscapes remain available for the public to enjoy。
7. Which choice most effectively combines the sentences at the underlined portion?
A) internationally, and Kingman also garnered
B) internationally; from exhibiting, he garnered
C) internationally but garnered
D) internationally, garnering
本題答案選D。garner意為獲得，對於選出答案極為重要。因為選項裡有表示轉折的but，還有順承關係的and。
因此，要加大閱讀各種題材的文章，官方提到的科學，歷史，社科，人文，職場類的文章都要特別瞭解，還要老老實實背好核心詞彙。語法題不懂句意也可以做的時代過去了。
注意：圖表題尤其難，需要首先讀懂圖表和文意，最後才能選出詞義和語法均正確的選項，其實很類似一道單句寫作題。詳情請見官方樣題2最後一題。考試中建議最後考慮或者蒙，畢竟SAT不倒扣分了，這是一個利好訊息。
第三、加強對新興熱門考點的'理解和複習。
1.標點的考察極其細緻：
除了按功能將標點分為六類，官方還列出了所有必考考點：除了常出現的逗號，句號和分號，還有不常考的冒號，破折號，括號。此外，附加成分常用的插入語雙逗號和雙括號，加大了對主要資訊和次要資訊的區分。
官方公佈的樣題中，一共13題，標點就涉及了3題，考察了“句末標點”的句號，“作為解釋說明”的冒號和“不需使用”的插入語。
2. 連線詞的題量和範圍加大：
SAT語法目前只有一篇文章，連線詞考察一般在1-2題;現在一共四篇，很可能考察4-6題。因此，連線詞的考察範圍、難度、靈活度均會加大，包括words, phrases, or sentences。官方公佈的13道樣題裡，連線詞涉及了2題。
3. 詞語的贅餘和辨析題大大增多：
官方強調 expression of ideas，明確考察詞義辨析，不僅是形近易混詞(如allusion和illusion)，而且是意義易混詞。這樣一來，詞語的辨析難度加大，等於是新型詞彙題。官方公佈的樣題中，考察了對於“離開、放棄”這一詞義的詞語選擇，原題如下：
As Kingman developed as a painter, his works were often compared to paintings by Chinese landscape artists dating back to CE 960, a time when a strong tradition of landscape painting emerged in Chinese art. Kingman, however, vacated from that tradition in a number of ways, most notably in that he chose to focus not on natural landscapes, such as mountains and rivers, but on cities
4.
A) NO CHANGE
B) evacuated
C) departed
D) retired
