Misconception about the SAT Essay

Test Preparation SAT Preparation

<p>There is a big misconception on the essay that you have to include literary, historical, and personal examples. You don’t have to. </p>

<p>Besides, if you do include those three examples, your essay will look disorganized and unfocused. You are jumping from point to point without anything tying it together. </p>

<p>Instead, you should just focus on one point or subject area – such as World War II the or 1920s. </p>

<p>I have written two 12 essays already using this technique. I wrote specifically about the flaws of the people in charge of World War II (June 2009). </p>

<p>In the May 2009, I wrote specifically about the 1920s and how the older, more conservative people tried to limit peoples freedom of belief – such as teaching evolution and women’s rights.</p>

<p>I don’t know. This is just my conviction. In my opinion, an essay looks totally disorganized and unfocused when there’s three different points flying around with no hook to each one. If I were a reader, it would come off to me as pretentious. In my way approach, the essay is more concise, punctual, and focused.</p>

<p>I’ll post my essay up so students can see what I’m talking about.</p>

<p>congratulations, but both approaches have been proven to work. i don’t care if i come off as a pretentious idiot. all i care about is the 12</p>

<p>Well, a focused view on the problem seemed working to me also. I had a 10/12 essay in June, which only focused on soccer and its teammate cooperation</p>
