Unit Roadmap (NUM8ERS SAT Reading and Writing)
This roadmap mirrors how high-performing students build skill: first master Information & Ideas, then Craft & Structure, then Expression of Ideas and Standard English Conventions. Each unit below links directly to your NUM8ERS lessons.
Unit 1: About the SAT Start here Test overview · strategy · planning
Understand format, timing, modules, and what “Reading and Writing” actually tests.
Build a realistic schedule, choose resources, and plan practice-to-review cycles.
Unit 2: Foundations — Information and Ideas Evidence · graphs · main idea · inference
Find the best support in the passage: quotes, lines, and tightly matched evidence.
Connect claims to charts/tables; match trends and interpret data-based arguments.
Identify main idea, purpose, and the detail that best supports the passage’s point.
Choose what must be true based on the text—no outside knowledge required.
Unit 3: Foundations — Craft and Structure Vocabulary · purpose · paired texts
Use context clues (tone, contrast, example) to select the precise meaning.
Track logic: claim → support, problem → solution, compare/contrast, and author intent.
Relate two short texts: agreement, disagreement, extension, or different focus.
Unit 4: Foundations — Expression of Ideas + Standard English Conventions Transitions · synthesis · sentence logic · punctuation
Choose connectors for cause, contrast, addition, example, and sequence.
Use bullet-point notes to craft the best sentence for purpose and audience.
Fix sentence meaning, eliminate illogical phrasing, and improve clarity.
Punctuation and clause boundaries: commas, semicolons, colons, and fragments/run-ons.
Unit 5: Medium — Information and Ideas Mid-level evidence and inference accuracy
Distinguish “close but wrong” evidence choices from the best-supported line.
Handle multi-variable charts and trend-based reasoning under time pressure.
Refine main-idea choices and identify details that match the author’s point.
Make precise, text-locked inferences—especially with neutral or technical passages.
Unit 6: Medium — Craft and Structure Meaning nuance · structure reasoning · paired-text logic
Choose the exact shade of meaning; avoid synonyms that don’t fit the sentence.
Identify function of a line (example, counterargument, definition, concession, etc.).
Synthesize two passages efficiently: compare claims, evidence types, and conclusions.
Unit 7: Medium — Expression of Ideas + Standard English Conventions Editing for clarity · grammar patterns · punctuation control
Choose the best logical bridge when multiple answers look plausible.
Match sentence choice to goal, audience, and constraints from the notes.
Eliminate redundancy, fix pronoun reference, and strengthen sentence logic.
Master clause boundaries with commas/semicolons/colons and common traps.
Unit 8: Advanced — Information and Ideas Harder inference · denser evidence · complex data
Handle subtle claims and evidence with tight logical matching.
Interpret advanced graphics quickly; connect data to argument quality and conclusions.
Find main idea when language is abstract, academic, or highly compressed.
Make exact inferences with minimal wording—precision matters at this level.
Unit 9: Advanced — Craft and Structure Nuanced meaning · complex purpose · challenging paired texts
Resolve fine meaning differences using tone, contrast, and rhetorical cues.
Track argument structure and the function of sentences within a complex passage.
Synthesize paired texts with conflicting assumptions, methods, or definitions.
Unit 10: Advanced — Expression of Ideas + Standard English Conventions High-precision editing · advanced punctuation and clarity
Select the best connector when multiple logical relationships seem possible.
Optimize purpose, tone, and constraints from notes—no extra claims added.
High-level sentence revision: concision, precision, and logical flow.
Master complex boundary choices (clauses, supplements, and punctuation traps).
Unit 11: SAT Grammar Practice Targeted grammar drills · boundaries · punctuation
Core agreement rules and common SAT traps (interrupting phrases, inverted order).
Clarity + agreement: who/which/they/it, and avoiding vague references.
Apostrophes, plural forms, and possessive logic.
Tense consistency, participles, irregular verbs, and idiomatic usage.
Avoid dangling/misplaced modifiers and fix illogical sentence attachments.
Independent vs. dependent clauses; commas, semicolons, and conjunction patterns.
Nonessential information: commas, dashes, parentheses, and appositives.
Colons, semicolons, commas, and avoiding fragments/run-ons.

FAQ: Digital SAT Reading and Writing
What topics are tested on SAT Reading and Writing?
The section focuses on four major skill areas: Information and Ideas, Craft and Structure,
Expression of Ideas, and Standard English Conventions. NUM8ERS organizes these into Foundations → Medium → Advanced units.
Is SAT “Reading and Writing” the same as the old SAT EBRW?
The Digital SAT combines reading and writing into one Reading and Writing section, with shorter passages and question sets. Your skills are still the same core ideas:
evidence, inference, vocabulary in context, structure/purpose, transitions, synthesis, and grammar.
How should I use this roadmap to improve fast?
Start with Units 2–4 (Foundations). Then move to Medium (Units 5–7), and Advanced (Units 8–10). Keep Unit 11 running in parallel if grammar is a weakness.
For each skill: Lesson → Flashcards → Quiz → Review.
What’s the fastest way to fix grammar (Boundaries, punctuation, agreement)?
Use Unit 11 (Grammar Practice) and the Boundaries units. Most score jumps come from eliminating repeatable errors: agreement, verb forms, modifier placement, and clause boundaries.
Do I need to memorize word lists for Words in Context?
Memorizing can help, but the SAT primarily rewards context reasoning: contrast words, definitions, examples, and tone shifts. Focus on how the word functions in the sentence.
Can teachers link to this unit map?
Yes. If you manage a class or tutoring group, linking to this roadmap helps students find the exact skill lesson they need and reduces confusion.
