dbc9todd- No, there isnt. The graders place emphasis on the strength of your argument. Intro and conclusion are actually negligible in scoring (unless they are breathtaking). If you have only one example and you show the depth of your knowledge within that one example, while tying it directly to the question posed, you should get 11-12.

I used one example for the main essay Thoreau’s influence on Gandhi and I got a 12.

And for the mountain lions question, I put “no error” and I still got an 80 on the MC scaled score.
