Revising and editing are two categories that sophomores tend to struggle with on the STAAR test. These categories are full of so many different skills and rules, so it can get confusing really quickly. Here are some of the many skills that can appear in the revising and editing section of the STAAR test:
Coordinating conjunctions / subordinating conjunctions (FANBOYS & AAAWWUBBIS)
Sentence Structure
Commas
Apostrophes
Semicolons and colons
Transitions (words and phrases)
Modifiers
Active vs. passive voice
Verb tense
Pronoun-antecedent agreement
Capitalization
Spelling
