<p>Can anyone show me a essay in which they scored relativity high, perhaps between a 10-12 score. I plan on analyzing the essay along with incorporating AcademicHacker's method in order to further my score. Thank you, i'm sure it'll be of good help for most CCer's.</p>

<p>I can post my June SAT one once it’s up in a couple of days. I honestly don’t think it was that well written but I managed to get an 11.</p>

3

<p>I got 11 on the June SAT essay. I’ll post it if I won’t find it as embarrassing as I remember it be. :)</p>

4

<p>thank you :)</p>

5

<p>I may post it when it’s up. I dunno how I got 12. It wasn’t that good.</p>

6

<p>sorry for posting this, but what is the minimum grade for the SAT W section essay needed to get an 800?</p>

7

<p>^I saw a conversion chart where one could get a 9 on the essay and still earn an 800 if they had a perfect MC.</p>

8

<p>My essay recieved an 11 in June I can send it to you once its released if you’d like</p>

9

<p>I’m looking at the conversion table in the BB and according to it you could still possibly get an 800 with a 8</p>

10

<p>dkdkdk i would really appreciate that thanks :)</p>

11

<p>@rk33
so if you get 12 essay and full MC, then you have an 800 even though it is higher?
how many MC questions do you need to get an 800 for each score from 8-12?</p>

12

<p>i have my 12 essay from the may SAT. it wasnt really good, so i guess it can serve as an example of how to achieve a 12, bare minimum.</p>

13

<p>strosfan, bilguun, zap, dkdk, : Would you also send me a copy of your essay? Thanks.</p>

14

<p>sure, I can send you a copy as well, </p>

<p>but just so you guys know, my essay didn’t feel like it would deserve a high score when I wrote it, however it is, according to collegeboard, an 11 lol</p>

15

<p>sure. It should be up in a few hours.</p>

<p>I got a 780. I missed one MC (there’s really no excuse for missing ANY writing MC…it’s all basic stuff for anyone that speaks this language–sorry, college board) and got a 10 on the essay. My essay was CRAP. This is from the May test.

If I’m violating any ETS (or CC, for that matter) rules by posting that, it is NOT intentional, and I’d love it if somebody who knows more than I do about this to let me know so I can take it down. It’s my first time posting something like this, but it’s an old test and I figure that they publish “real” essays from old prompts anyway. So why should mine be an issue?</p>

<p>Here is my essay:
<a href=“http://i43.■■■■■■■.com/2wd8zd1.jpg[/url]”>http://i43.■■■■■■■.com/2wd8zd1.jpg&lt;/a&gt;
The question “Do we benefit from learning about the flaws of people we admire and respect?” implies that people can learn from mistakes made by their idols. In other words, we can change our fortune after reflecting on past mistakes made by those we admire. In my opinion, the ability to benefit from these idols and their mistakes is completely real and in fact useful. Throughout society and life, this opinion is pervasive.
Consider the case of Barack Obama’s Economic Stimulous package, a $800 billion aid to help the economy stabilize. When our economy first showed signs of downturn, we were able to look at the admirable Franklin D. Roosevelt and his Newl Deal, which got us out of the Great Depression. Americans today can look back on the New Deal and reference it to help bring us out of an economic downturn. This is exactly what Barack Obama did in his Stimulus Package, who had the benefit of learning from Franklin D. Roosevelt, a person who Barack Obama has said he admires.
Another example of people benefitting from their idols’ mistakes can be seen in the French Revolution. Only a couple decades after the American Revolution, the lower-class French “paysans” were upset with their aristocratic-loving monarchy. Looking back to their friends overseas, the Americans, the French rebels learned that a revolution was totally necessary in addition to its feasability. So while the French paraqded through the streets with Louis XVI’s head, they undeniably benefitted from seeing an earlier, successful rebellion in the Americas.
A final example where this opinion is evident is demonstrated in the John Steinbeck novel, Of Mice and Men, written in the first half of the twentieth century. In the novel, Lennie mistakenly kills Curly’s wife, which eventually leads to George having to shoot him, his best friend. In this depressing ending, George soon learns that his American dream may never be a reality and it will always be out of his reach. When George’s admirable best friend dies, he benefits directly, learning that the dream they both chased after was unrealistic and unattainable.
Through these examples, it is clear that humans certainly do benefit from the flaws of those they admire. Today, we see this evident in Barack Obama’s Stimulus Package, no doubt with traces back to Franklin D. Roosevelt’s New Deal. The French Revolution in the late eighteenth-century was spurred by the American Revolution, and these Franco-rebels certainly had ideas come from the other side of the Atlantic. And finally, the Of Mice and Men novel portrayed George as a beneficiary to Lennie’s death–George was chasing after smoething that he couldn’t reach. These three examples help prove my argument that we do benefit from other’s mistakes.</p>

<p>A lot of things I would change looking back on it, but nonetheless it got me an 11 :)</p>
