Welcome

Don't let this happen to you. Study.

Dear Visitor,

First, this is a non-profit blog. I write blog posts, upload movies and pictures, and share SAT-related material whether or not I am employed. Yes, I am doing this out of altruism.

With that said, if you have taken the time and effort to visit this blog, as I have suggested, then I am genuinely happy. Not a lot of people have the initiative or drive to come to this obscure corner of cyberspace to study for the SAT, let alone for just one SAT writing section. This is not to say that nobody else has your initiative or drive: It is conceivable that all of you have it in you, but I must sadly admit that it is statistically unlikely for every one of my SAT folks to be so hardworking.

To those of you who are new: This blog is far from perfect. I make mistakes once in a while. You may sometimes find grammatical errors in my posts or in the explanations I give for some sample SAT problems. If you do find such errors, please report them to me. If you turn out to be correct and I turn out to be wrong, then you may laugh at me in public, and I will apologize for my carelessness and/or incompetence.

The title of this post alludes to a Shakespearean amphiboly. I know next to nothing about Shakespeare but a little more about amphibolies, but feel free to ask me about either. You are welcome to ask me questions about pretty much anything at any time. Should you feel better contacting me in private, you may email me at raymondchuang(at)yahoo.com. (Yes, I've taken out the @ sign lest there should be spambots).

Now, here's a word of encouragement for some of you. The SAT is easy to beat (or to get a better score on) if you put in the work. The test is highly predictable and definitely not bullshit-proof. I usually do not condone bullshitting, yet I am sad to admit that the SAT compels its test takers to engage in a prodigious amount of bullshitting. Hence, at times I have to show you how to do what is, bluntly put,bullshit, though I will make sure that I answer your questions about the English language sincerely and conscientiously, as any decent English teacher should.
