I recieved a 12 on the october SAT about compromise

I love philosophy and so I discussed the nature of the topic in the intro paragraph, as I would in conversation. I used mainly complex sentences(as previous posters have said) and some high level vocabulary.

1st paragraph-in depth philosophical examples and logical deductions about the topic
2nd-Cold War (Howard Zinn reference-“War is the health of the state”)
3rd-Buddhist monk civil disobedience in Myanmar

Try not to make it sound rehersed (i.e. literature,history,current event). Don’t force the examples to fit the topic, and above all make sure there is a logical progression in the examples, which allows the paper to flow.
