did anyone get an essay question on whether decisions made quickly are just as good as ones made slowly?
the prompt was difficult, and i definitely did bad on it. i want to see what other people thought... but it looks like the majority of people got the compromise prompt.

i don't know. i usually get the same ones as people on cc. so i started to think i read the prompt wrong, but i checked collegeboard, and they say they have 4 prompts? i wish i had the compromise one because that prompt was hard!

they may have different prompts for very different timezones since it is probably easy to share it

all the prompts should be general and quite broad enough to relate to..

If one were to not have time to finish a conclusion and ran out of time mid-way through writing about a 2nd example, would that have a significant impact on the score if the rest was very well written?

For the decisions essay I wrote about the Economic Crisis as well, only to realize after than most likely a bunch of people wrote about that.

I wrote about Fahrenheit 451. This essay is definitely not the 11 I got last time. :/

I used Romeo and Juliet for 3 paragraphs, didn't underline the title, and didn't end up with a conclusion. After time was called, I wanted to change the last two words, but obviously it was too late. It felt really rushed this time, while last time I felt good about it and got 8. Hopefully I get 8 again. I'm not hoping for anything better.
Oh, and I got the decisions prompt.

the diversity is not important. what is important is the relevance. on the last SAT essay i wrote about the Kyoto treaty, orwell's 1984, Sartre, greenhouse effect and the beat generation and it only got me an 8. of course, i didn't switch so abruptly from one idea to another:P it made sense...a little
on yesterday's sat i wrote about a personal invented experience(smth really lame about firsthand experience with the disadvantaged, but RELEVANT in the context), again about global warming, Galileo Galilei, one Baudlaire quote and I wanted to say something really cool about comunism in Romania and the lies about economy and production stolen from Mao, but I lacked the time, of course.
