Chapter 3: The big picture

Point of a paragraph

Location (Most likely)

The first (topic) sentence

State the point

The last sentence

Reiterate

Second point (Maybe)

Between

Body of a paragraph

Provide details or evidence to support the point

Example 1

First sentence

Introduce the main point

Last sentence

Reinforce the main point

Example 2

First (Topic) sentence

Tells what the paragraph will be about

However, in this case

Last sentence

Not reiterate the topic

Move it in a new direction

Describe a possible solution to the conflict described in the paragraph

Tips

Correct answer

Take simple language of main point, rephrase it in a moderately sophisticated way

If understand the passage as a mass of details

More likely to opt for an for an answer that mentions a word or phrase you remember from the passage but doesn't actually capture the big picture (BAD)

Not knowing what to look for in the first place

More difficult

Old idea vs new idea

Importance

Most important concepts necessary for making sense out of SAT

Social science

Science

"people used to believe x, but now they believe y."

Location (Typically)

Traditionally accepted idea or theory

The first paragraph or two

New theory

The rest

Shift to explain why that theory is wrong

Identify

Sometimes

Clear

Less direct

Putting words/phrases in question mark

Ask rhetorical questions

eg: but is this really the case?

Common phrases signal when authors are discussing old vs. new ideas

Old idea

In the past/For decades/Traditionally it was believed that ...

Some/Many/Most people (scientists, researchers) believe ...

Accepted/Conventional wisdom holds that. ..

It is commonly thought that ...

New idea

However, But in fact, In reality .. .

But is it really true/ the case that ... ?

It now seems (clear)/Researchers now think that ...

Recently, it has been found that. ..

New research/ evidence shows/ suggests that ...

Another possibility is that. ..

Tips

When the shift to the "new idea" occurs

Pay close attention because result or theory discussed will certainly be the point of the passage

Some cases

Counterarguments will be discussed later in the passage

But in general, authors tend to stick to discussing "new ideas" once they've transitioned to them

Keep track of

What the old vs. new ideas are

Why they are false vs. true

Don't rely on your memory: underline and mark it with a huge arrow or star, or summarize it yourself

May choose the opposite of the correct answer
