Our focus on this course will be on how colleges test for good writers: through the SAT I verbal exams.  Two of its sections -- "critical reading" and "writing" -- that test your writing-related skills.  The more you can develop your writing abilities, the better you will do on these exams and the more opportunity you will have for college scholarships.

College admissions, and scholarships, are based on the SAT I scores.  The following are some minimum scores for scholarships at certain schools (not including minority scholarships).  Notice how the higher the score, the larger the larger the potential scholarship.  Also notice that some schools (like Seton Hall and Moravian) use all three SAT scores (which have a maximum score of 800 times 3, or 2400), while other schools (like Alfred State College and Arcadia) do not use the writing score so their maximum is a 1600 (800 times 2).
