<p>Hey I was wondering what is the general way to write an essay, because the samples and templates i've looked up have been very different? I've heard it should be really formulaic. Is this true? Any help is appreciated. Thanks!</p>
<p>The best you can really do is get a feel of what makes an essay that was scored a 6 a 6 and not something lower. Some characteristics about it helps it merit a 6 and by looking at it closer and analyzing it you can get a better sense of what makes it so effective. Getting a higher score is going to require some finer attention to what you write than one that is scored a four.
As for a formula for writing, just don’t do what some English teachers tell their students to do, which is to just write in a boring, predictable fashion.</p>
<p>is it much different than the SAT essay as far as format/style</p>
<p>this is my first time taking it too</p>
