<p>For the 25 minutes essay, which of the following for the introductory paragraph is better? </p>
<p>A) Short and concise, around 3 sentences, stating your point of view and thesis as the last sentence of the paragraph</p>
<p>B) long (around 5-8 sentences), stating your point of view and describing briefly each of the supporting argument.</p>
<p>Does anyone have any experience with the above two methods?</p>
<p>Does anyone have any other suggestions for getting a 12 in the essay component?</p>
<p>Thanks a bunch.</p>
