<p>DITTO, dearsiryes
The more i read everyone’s “please grade my essays” here on CC, the more it seems that there’s not enough time to do 3 examples well. The scorers are looking for depth, details, and critical thinking about the examples.</p>
<p>Who’s telling everyone to use 3, anyway? My guess is that there are teachers out there (I am one, so I know how we think) who see the SAT guidebooks saying,
“choose 2 or 3 examples” and assume 3 is always better than 2. NOT SO.</p>
<p>You only have 25 minutes. </p>
<p>The test directions will tell you to “choose examples from literature, history, science(I think) or personal experience to support your claim.” “Examples” means plural, so TWO.</p>
