If Standard English Conventions is where your score leaks, this is the patch. The workshop teaches the single idea every SEC question is built on — how clauses are joined — and then works outward through punctuation, agreement, and form, finishing with a mixed mock and an error-log clinic that tells you exactly which sub-skill to keep drilling.
Reading questions ask you to interpret; conventions questions ask you to apply a rule. Rules can be learned to near-certainty. The four families below cover essentially every SEC item the Digital SAT can ask — and the Error Log inside each session shows your accuracy in each family climbing across the ten hours.
