I took the writing twice and got an 11 the first time and a 12 the second time using a formula I came up with as such
1- use humor or a lighthearted opener or quote. For instance if the problem was tv usage " a wise man once said ahshdjn!" that man was watching tv.
2- relate it to the person who will be reading it. Don't be dry.
3- form a plan of coherence showing where you are going to go.
4- use a personal anecdote and one unrelated circumstance this us important.
5- eloquent and wise choice of words not just spouting big words totrt and impress the scorer it won't work.
6- make sure your transitions are relvant and light but get the point across ie: " if we turn the channel well be able observe the next point being. .. ......" there
7- finally after doing the above formula relate your conclusion to your opener after restating your points in a single brief sentence.
This is a tried and true formula I created it in my AP English class as a project to " break the essay bank" if you will and evryone I've taught it to has at least gotten a ten when they used It on the SAT or ACT. And like I said before I've gotten an 11 , revised it, used it and got a 12.
