SAT阅读考试中所有答案的选择都要来自于文章，不要用个人观点和阅读经验影 一切答案来源于文章。下面来为大家详细介绍SAT阅读错误选项排除原则。
1、先易后难
遇到一个看不懂的选项切勿纠缠，直接看下一选项，如果连续3个选项不认识此题一定要空着不做，防止“赔了夫人又折兵”
2、拆开判断，纵向比对
2008年1月section 8第15题的选项
A. irrational, because it ignored Pound’s good intentions
B. meaningless, because the scholars were not translators
C. inevitable, because Pound's method had attracted considerable attention
D. genuine, because the scholars felt personally insulted
E. understandable, because Pound’s claim could be disputed
判断此题目的时候录，要先纵向拆解五个选项，先看每个选项开头的第一个词，
A. Irrational, B. meaningless, C. inevitable, D. genuine, E. understandable
由于原文讲述的态度是中肯的，所以排除带有浓烈感情色彩的词，拿掉A,B。
剩下三个选项再继续纵向拆解比对
C. Pound’s method attracted attention D. scholars felt insulted E. Pound’s claim could be disputed
原文重点对象是Pound,排除D
此时只需要对比
C.attracted attention E. be disputed
就可以了，原文是关于翻译要直译还是释义的探讨，因此Pound提出释义，当然会受到直译支持者的反对，而引起dispute, 故E是正确答案。
再来一例，这题是前面我们做过的 “蒙娜丽莎的微笑” 《官方指南》p395
Which statement best characterizes the different ways in which the authors of Passage 1 and Passage 2 approach the Mona Lisa?
A. The first stresses the unique smile in the portrait , while the second focuses on other mysterious qualities of its subject 。
B. The first emphasizes its striking appearance, while the second examines the background of its creator。
C. The first focuses on its stylistic innovations, while the second seeks to account for its cultural preeminence。
D. The first speculates about the life of its subject, while the second argues that historical interpretations are irrelevant。
E. The first alludes to its societal importance, while the second debates its artistic merits。
每个选项都有个while,纵向判断每个选项while之前的文字，看能排除几个，然后再同样方式判断后半句。
这种方法是避免了人脑短时记忆不佳的缺陷，短时记忆本身就需要训练才能提高，何况在外语语境中更是难以驾驭。用 “纵向原则” 最大好处就是每次处理的信息量较小，有针对性，进而提高准确率。
以上就是SAT阅读错误选项排除原则，语言是信息的载体，学生读懂的语言越多，就越能筛去越多的常识。反之，读懂的越少，大脑就 会自动搜索常识来补充信息。某种意义上说，考阅读就是一个不断排除常识的过程。
