<p>Hey everyone, what did you have as an essay topic? Mine was about legacy? Howd u do?</p>
<p>Mine was about challenges that come with achievements.
Failed.</p>
<p>Enough said.</p>
<p>mine was also about achievements— worst prompt ever. i did terrible.</p>
<p>s did the challenges that come with achievements essay. wrote about american revolution.</p>
<p>Mine was about how people who have been victims of unfairnesa and injustice themselves are more likely to be fair themselves…loved the topic !!!</p>
<p>I thought it was actually pretty easy. I talked about Oliver Sack’s and some of his patients that accomplished to i don’t know say recuperate from an phantom limb but later need to develop more motor skills with that limb, talked about Lincoln and the Civil War and from a novel I was reading. Pretty easy prompt in my opinion.</p>
<p>gasenioryear, wrote about the American Revolution too. But then my brain got all foggy and I started writing about a scavenger hunt and a book that had nothing to do with the topic… <em>sigh</em></p>
<p>“can individuals abandon morals because they are part of a group.”</p>
<p>honestly, you can just pretty much pull crap from your ass and write a satisfactory essay. i linked obama’s responsibility to america, teaching character for the future generation, and made up a example about the philanthropic efforts of a fake middle school in arizona.</p>
<p>bottom line: speech and debate bs-ing skills can give you a pretty solid 12.</p>
<p>^ I had the same one. I only wrote three paragraphs because I wasn’t well prepared for my test at all, so I only got an 8. I linked my essay to religion.</p>
<p>yeah mine was about progress and achievements and the problems they bring about.
I wrote 4 paragraphs, filled up both pages, and used a random Confucius quote that I managed to tie into the topic.</p>
<p>I got a 12. To be honest, if you have big words, at least 4 paragraphs in 2 full pages and a quote from a philosopher or great work you are guaranteed a 12. Just saying.</p>
<p>Mine was about challenges that follow achievements. </p>
<p>Made up a BS personal example and got a 12. The dude above me is correct. Use a bunch of SAT vocab, take up all of the space (I only took up 1.5 pages though), use an example(s) that adequately support your argument, and you should get a 10-12.</p>
<p>I had a 11/12 and I just wrote about Thoreau, Robert Putnam, and cellphones for the achievement essay</p>
<p>Mine was also about challenges that come with achievements and I received an 11 using the same golden formula listed above. I forget exactly what I wrote about, but I believe it was about science, specifically cell theory and Galileo. I tied a Lao-Tzu (either that or Confucius) quote in. It was the one about a journey of a thousand miles begins with one small step.</p>
<p>TSBmaniac gets a gold star for simplifying SAT essays in two lines, whereas books take pages.</p>
<p>Can someone tell me exactly the 2 different prompts there were on this test day? I didn’t took Subject test, but I just wanna get a general feel on how broad the prompts are.</p>
