<p>i got a 12 on my essay. my preparation? going to a rigorous prep school.
personal experience is always iffy to use. i would recommend straying away from that and instead, i would suggest books. pick a few books that you know pretty well. the beauty of this idea is that you can morph the book to literally any topic. make a brainstorm bank of different examples you could use: medicine, technology, books, etc. think quickly yet accurately.</p>
