It seems as thought when you are given a prompt under time constraints, you can't think but when you're driving back home after the test you get all these ideas in your head and you tell yourself, "DANG why didn't I think of that when I was writing the essay?"

I used a history and a current event... a slight deviation from the plan, but hopefully it turns out alright.

hitler? clearly i had a different essay. mine was roughly on decisions (notice this isn't specific. i don't want ets to sue my ass)

pretty good into
1st body paragraph on cold war/cuban missile crisis
2nd, literary source, angels and demons, not so great
3rd, personal experience, again not so great
conclusion of 1 sentence...........

vocab: no big words, merely average

it was only a page and a half, too. there was great potential in the topic but i couldn't think of things quick enough.

i'm thinking 8. guys think a 9 is possible?

1st ph- intro (good one)
2nd ph- treaty of Versailles (well developed)
2nd page:
3rd ph- catcher in the rye (like 3-4 sentences, rushhed, badly developed)
4th ph- concluding (its ok)

So wut u think of it? A 7 or 8 is my guess
I had to rush cuz it took me like 10 mins to think of the examples... I'm not good at thinking under pressure >.>

thanks, Xcell (btw, your name is the same as an exhilarating ride at 6 flags magic mountain)

if i had only been able to add one more sentence that would've related back to an "old saying" that i mentioned and disagreed with in the into i'd be more confident about getting a 9.

meh. it's over no. nothing i can change.
