This simple guide is a grammar method writers can immediately use improving sentence variety by combining overly-used simple sentences, thus likely earning higher scores on the written portion of standardized tests. Since the English language is made up of one basic sentence type, also called the simple sentence, standardized writing tests makers expect test takers to show a high level of mastery regarding written use of the simple sentence. The method used in this simple guide stems from more than twenty years of teaching my own students how to successfully write better for state testing and it quickly works to improve test scores for any level of writer!
