4 paragraph essay
2 examples
1 on History
1 on Literature-(actually it was BS, I said that a scifi movie was a book to get my point across)

No matter how many lies you put down on paper it doesn’t matter. If need be, say that your sibling has a heart condition or that your parents have 38 patent or that our first president was Thomas Jefferson. Obviously, keep your lies within the realms of reality, and you are allowed to lie about historical facts because they are not grading you based on that knowledge but rather your ability to answer the prompt clearly and effectively on paper.

Here are the things that matter…
1.) Sentence Structure(Make sure to vary you’re sentence structure)
2.) Use transitions
3.) Thorough developement of examples is key to a good essay
4.) Throw at least 5 big words(and more if you can) ex. use facsimiles instead of copies
5.) Conclusion is somewhat important…its not as important as your examples though so you still have a shot at a 12 if you really proved that you could write by what you have so far…

I used these 5 things to improve from a 8 to a 11…
