I understand there are different types of questions on the SAT Reading & Writing Section, such as Core Reading Questions, Command of Evidence (COE) type Questions, etc. Is there a structure that the test follows when it presents you with these different types of questions? Ex: 7 Core Reading questions and then 4 COE questions after that.
First of all, nice avi! Second - excellent question. Every SAT Reading & Writing module does indeed follow a predictable pattern, though there's no set number for each question type. Here's the basic structure:
Vocabulary in Context (usually 4 or 5 questions)
Core Reading Questions (usually 4 or 5 questions, total). This question type has several subtypes. The order of the subtypes varies from module to module, and not every subtype appears on every module.
Function
Main Idea
Main Purpose
Details
Structure
Cross-Text Connections ("paired passages")
Command of Evidence (usually 4 or 5 questions)
Inference (usually 2 questions)
Standard English Conventions ("grammar" - usually about 6 questions)
Transitions (usually about 3 questions)
Rhetorical Synthesis ("notes" - usually 2 to 4 questions)
