I got 11 on the October SAT on the essay about compromise
Used two of the examples:
1)Treaty of Versailles
2) India Pakistan war over Kashmir

So, I don’t think one necessarily needs three examples. Good two examples are also okay. Trying using 4 or 5 big vocabulary words (5-8 letters) across the essays, and just see how it raises the score significantly. And also write the whole two pages (front and back) to score more than 10. If write less its more likely you will not get more than ten.

Come on, Essay graders have a maximum of 45 sec to look over your essays; they will just glance through it rather than taking a deeper meaning and analyzing it. Don’t stress too much and don’t try to write Ernest Hemingway style. Use transitions and memorize some words that you can insert in any type of essay.
