I am taking the practice SATs and i noticed many of the grammer questions (that require you to replace the wrong part of a sentence) already sounded correct. Out of the whole test, how many questions don't require you to change anything??

Nope, it is never correct "as-is".

How many answer options are there? I forget now if it's 4 (A-D) or 5 (A-E) but regardless, the correct answers are evenly distributed. That means, on average, 20% (if 5 answer choices) or 25% (if 4 answer choices) will be correct as written. It may vary slightly on a given test but in general that % will hold true. There is no "magic answer" that you can always pick to increase your score. In general, however, the least wordy answer is more likely to be correct... assuming there are no glaring grammatical errors in the least wordy answer (like wrong verb tense or lack of agreement between verb & subject).

Ew I hate those because I always think the way they first put it is correct and then I get it wrong. ;(
