<p>What is the best tone to use when you write your SAT essay? Which one would get you the highest score and which tone would get you a lower score?</p>
<p>Highest – formal without being pretentious.
Medium – formal, too pretentious.
Low – informal.
Lowest – informal and disrespectful.</p>
<p>dont write in a passive tone</p>
<p>Is there a way that you can check yourself to make sure that your writing is not pretentious? Also, what if an essay warrants a person to write in an informal tone, will be held against the writer of the essay?</p>
<p>I’m not sure what you mean by an essay that “warrants a person to write in an informal tone.” Essays are expected to be formal, proper English writing, so even personal examples or funny topics shouldn’t be too casual (although humor is ok).</p>
<p>My essays always end up being very sarcastic for some reason… It’s a “snotty”, formal sarcasm, though.</p>
<p>so then just use a professional tone in my SAT essays?</p>
