<p>I know I can’t change my score and all but I am worried about my oct sat score./
Last time, I received an 8 for my essay. 4/4.
I wrote full 4 paragraphs, had intro, two body paragraphs with two topic sentences + two examples and a conclusion.
For oct test, my topic was something about humor and I really couldnt come up with anything, I wrote only three paragraphs - one intro, one body + one topic sentence + one example + conclusion…I filled two full pages but its because I basically wrote a novel on my essay… could I still get an 8 ?:(</p>
<p>filling the pages is a good sign, even if it’s crap</p>
<p>It is good to write as many as you can, but the main thing is to KEEP IN TOPIC, if it’s not related to answering the question by either agreeing or disagreeing with it then it is kind of dangerous …</p>
<p>It is possible to get an 8, but it has to relate to the topic, so if it’s related there’s a shot. Have some confidence : ))</p>
<p>Pretty bad, honestly. I remember in 8th grade I received some prompt about society and I rambled about 9/11 and Hurricane Katrina for a page, not really making any cogent arguments. I got a 3/3.</p>
<p>^ I am about to make the grade that you made in 8th grade. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .</p>
<p>Strangely i got a 4/5 in 8th grade. I don’t know why some1 would give my essay a 5. It sucked!! And i knew it too. Whatever. I guess the reader must have been high or something.</p>
<p>You’ve really got to TRY to get a 3. If you filled up the pages like you said, you should be guaranteed an 8+…even if you wrote it in Middle English :o</p>
<p>^thank you.</p>
<p>That is, unless you have enormous writing and skip lines.</p>
