Is it possible to get a 12 on the essay with only one example?

1

<p>I wrote about The Brothers Karamazov (which was PERFECT for the prompt), but that was my only example; I didn’t have any space left for others. I think I did a pretty good job of explaining it and analyzing…would I have a chance at a 12?</p>

2

<p>probably not</p>

3

<p>Omg I so bsed the essay. I hope I got a decent score …</p>

4

<p>I hope so! I only used one example as well but I thoroughly explained it.</p>

5

<p>Even more drastic, is it possible to get a decent score if you didn’t completely finish the essay (say you were halfway through the last sentence in your conclusion)?</p>

6

<p>The number of examples doesn’t play a huge role. Plenty of people get 12s with only one example.</p>

<p>Imitation: I don’t think it will have much of an effect on your score.</p>

<p>Whew, what was especially irritating was that my proctor ended prematurely, around half - one minute early on the essay.</p>
