<p>I was tired of all the tutorials that confused the crap out of me, so I came up with my own way of scoring a 12 essay. I always scored a 8, but I just did this and I scored a 12 online.</p>
<p>I call this technique Force Plug:
- Find sample SAT essays online, most likely on College Confidential. There are plenty of essays that scored a 12 and are not too hard to comprehend.
- Analyze the essays and study them. Remember what the whole essay is about and remember the essay.</p>
<h2>3) Mold the essay to fit any prompt</h2>
<p>For example, I came across an essay:
Assignment: Is it best to have low expectations and to set goals we are sure of achieving? Plan and write an essay in which you develop your point of view on this issue. Support your position with reasoning and examples taken from your reading, studies, experience, or observations.</p>
<p>It is often easy to imagine that we can never live up to our expectations. Often, too, people have low expectations of themselves. But, while it may appear that low expectations are optimal, low expectations can have deleterious effects on and can exacerbate the current situation. It is best to have high expectations, which can have incredibly positive outcomes. This point can be exemplified by examining two important figures in world history: Winston Churchill and Frederick Douglass.</p>
<p>In the Second World War, Britain fought against Adolf Hitler of Germany, and it appeared in the early stages that Britain would be forced to soon surrender. And yet a powerful British leader, Winston Churchill, gave an incredibly stirring speech to the British people, many of whom thought that they would lose. Winston Churchill said that Britain will fight to preserve its institutions and democracy. Britain would fight Germany against all odds. This boosted morale to a great extent, and indeed, Britain was one of the winners of the war. Surely without Churchill’s high expectations, Britain could very possible not have had enough morale to continue fighting. Here is an example of a way in which high expectations positively shook the course of history.</p>
<p>A second character, one who lived several years before Churchill, is Frederick Douglass, a former slave in the nineteenth century. Most slaves in America at the time had no rights; many slaves simply obeyed their masters, demanding little of themselves. Douglass, however, was not weak and indeed strove to be the best he could be. He learned how to read and write – a task not often pursued by slaves at the time. He had incredibly high expectations of himself – he got himself a job working as a caulker and was a jack-of-all-trades. Through his great demands he eventually achieved his freedom. If he had low expectations of himself, he most likely would not have advanced in American society. He would have remained a slave with low expectations of himself, as so many slaves in his time had.</p>

<p>So basically, use the body paragraphs and rephrase them to fit your own prompt.
For my prompt, I had “Is it good to live the way you want?”
I used the same two body paragraphs, in different words, and changed the last sentence of each body paragraph to fit the prompt; instead of “high expectations” for the last sentence of the body paragraph, I put “the way he lives enables him to be glorious” yada yada. So I talked about Winston Churchhill, and Frederick Douglass without plagarizing at all.
Keep the intro and conclusion short, and start of with the thesis for the first sentence.</p>
<p>This way, you are using somebodys examples for your own prompt (with rephrasing, as to avoid plagarizing), and forcing them into your writing.
