<p>On an SAT practice essay, the prompt given was “Should heroes be defined as people who say what they think when we ourselves lack the courage to say it?” And I kind of blanked for a while. Then I just started writing about how people such as doctors, teachers, and policemen should be considered heroes. It was pretty well-written, but it didn’t exactly answer the question in the prompt. Would I get points taken off for this?</p>
<p>Yes, you need to answer the prompt. Unless you somehow described these heroes and people that say what they think then I doubt you will get a high score.</p>
<p>Although this is the SAT, we have a joke at our school that AP stands for “Address the prompt.” </p>
<p>You could always talk about Deepthroat, Nixon and Watergate, or something that relates better to make it easier.</p>
<p>i’m pretty sure AP stands for Asian Pride</p>
<p>^ boo not funny</p>
