Fun fact: "however" is the most overused transition on student essays, but on the SAT, the real challenge is choosing between words like "furthermore," "nevertheless," and "consequently." These questions test whether you can identify the logical relationship between ideas.

Ask yourself: is the second sentence continuing, contrasting, or concluding? Match the transition to that relationship, not to what "sounds right." A common mistake is picking a contrast word when the sentences actually agree.
