<p>So, is it a good idea to talk about the quote in our essays, and also since the judges are used to reading essays in cursive would it be better to write in cursive?</p>
<p>Evidently your essay has to be based around the prompt. As for handwriting, write what you’re used to. I write in block, with clearly formed letters, and my essay was graded just fine, and got a reasonable enough grade (10). Forcing yourself to write in a foreign style will be uncomfortable and may affect your writing content itself. The SAT people are used to reading all kinds of handwriting.</p>
<p>I would write in what your comfortable in and I head you shouldn’t talk about the quote.</p>
<p>I didn’t talk about quote at all. Just really write about whatever you think, use a couple of examples. Make everything smooth and transitions good. I got a 12</p>
<p>I often find that the quote confuses you and muddles your opinion. Usually, I skip the quote and just answer the question. Worked well for me; 11 and 12.</p>
<p>ok, thanks for the help everyone.</p>
<p>Make sure that you respond to the specific question that it is being asked, taking a position on one side or the other.</p>
<p>Write in what your comfortable in- my cursive is worse than my print. I also think the quote confuses you.</p>
