Shorter is Better

One of the most important concepts that the SAT test is conciseness: as a general rule, short, clear constructions are preferable to long, wordy ones. To be clear, this concept does not apply to questions testing specific grammatical concepts, e.g., subject-verb agreement. However, when multiple answers are grammatically acceptable and convey the same information, the shortest one will typically be correct.
