<p>I’m writing my SATs for the first time as a junior on Saturday… What sort of expectations should I go in with… how did everyone else do their first time?</p>
<p>And I was also wondering for the essay, I know length is very important, but is using transition words also important? And by that I mean “firstly, to sum up, however, etc”</p>
<p>Thanks</p>
<p>Expect to be tired when are done. Expect 3 5-minute breaks. Expect a weird essay topic that you will have to write 2 pages on. Expect to be confident and get 2400- not that I got close to doing that. </p>
<p>Ideas, coherence, and strong verbs are quite important on the essays.</p>
<p>Also I forgot to ask, for the essay, should I use enumeration in the introduction(list the examples that will follow in the essay) or should I just make a strong thesis statement?</p>
