We are making changes to the organization of the stickied post in this forum. This thread will be the sole platform to popular links to threads that address frequently asked questions. Since many of such questions have been answered in the past, all that is needed is to post a link to the existing thread. This thread is not meant to host lengthy discussions. We expect the discussions to remain part of the threads linked here, and not replaced them.

We hope you'll use this feature. Please add the links in new posts and the moderator team will periodically review the entries for consolidation and deletion.

Luckily, this keeps resurfacing but if it does get pushed down the list, this is a great post on How to write the SAT essay by using a template.

The idea is that you spend 10 days researching great examples that can be used in any essay. NOT, that you need 10 days to write an essay which some people seem to have trouble getting.
