My honest opinion:

WRITE WHAT YOU FEEL! I guess this doesn’t work if the topic doesn’t relate to something that influenced you or is important to you, but I always seem to find a way to relate my topics to something that really touches me deeply, and I think that is apparent in my writing. Give it a shot and if it doesn’t work. I’d go with the 3 part thesis to be on the same side.

I mean the SAT Essay scores must read the same thing over and over…Intro Example Example Example Closing. History is history and can get repetitive and tedious IMHO. Give those scorers something that will make them get comfortable to read what you have to say. I feel that is probably the best strategy to a good essay score, WHEN USED PROPERLY. Don’t get crazy and write about how your g.f broke up with and b.c of that you think love doesn’t exist. Write about something you’re truly passionate about and I really think it’ll help your results.

But as a final reminder, make sure you practice with this strategy first.

All the best
