Standard English Conventions Questions
26% of the Digital SAT is made of Standard English Conventions questions.These are
sometimes referred to as “Boundaries” questions on the DSAT and are designed to evaluate your grasp of standard english grammar, like sentence structure and punctuation.
These “boundaries’ questions explore the message conveyed within a passage as well as HOW it is conveyed. The need for sentences to be structurally sound and complete and adhere to the conventions of standard written english is essential.
The questions are always phrased as “Which choice completes the text so that it conforms to the conventions of standard english” but be careful- Form, Structure and Sense questions also use the same thing but instead ask things about subject-verb agreement instead.
