Do you guys really think this is a good idea? I mean, you're supposed to be showing your ability to think about and write a good response to a prompt in a short amount of time. You're not supposed to have answers plugged into your brain before you even see the question!
Believe me - I hate formula writing, which is why personally I think the SAT essay is a load of crap, but unfortunately that's how ETS made it, and it's up to us to beat them at their own game. Even though I would never use this approach in a real english class, its an effective strategy on the ETS. (gj testing us on our writing skills Collegeboard...)
