Does anyone know the secret to scoring well on the SAT essay? I consistently received 9 out of 9 on nearly all my timed writings in AP English and scored a 5 on the exam. I would consider myself a pretty good writer, but I just can’t seem to crack the formula for a high essay score (8 on first essay, 9 on second). I realize that College Board is looking for a different type of essay, but if someone could summarize some key points I would appreciate it greatly. Thanks!
