I am a good essay writer but sometimes I have difficulty in coming up with relevant supporting details/examples. If I have everything planned out, I can construct the essay well but in a time cruch such as the SAT essay I can’t think properly.

To solve my problem, I have created some fall back themes such as the following: Catcher in the Rye, Great Depression, choosing honors vs. AP, volunteering, etc.

My friend used Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs in the last SAT essay prompt “Happiness” and he scored a 12. I need good supporting details such as Maslow to really help me score that elusive 12.

Can you guys come up with any ideas?
