I'm taking the SAT very soon, and being a slow test-taker means I need some quick ways to identify grammar errors and possible amends. Here's the most common rules on the SAT:

Important SAT Grammar Rules:

Rule 1: Subject-Verb Agreement
Rule 2: Noun-Pronoun Agreement
Rule 3: Pronoun Subjects & Objects
Rule 4: Pronoun Consistency
Rule 5: Correct Tense
Rule 6: Adjectives & adverbs
Rule 7: Parallel Construction
Rule 8: Run-on Sentences & Sentence Fragments
Rule 9: Dangling Modifiers (Participles/participial phrases)
Rule 10: Sentence logic
Rule 11: Fixing commonly messed up expressions
Rule 12: Logical comparison
Rule 13: Comparative/superlative forms of words

What acronyms, mnemonics, or personal techniques could help in remembering these rules and irregularities?
