Best Advice to get a 12 Essay!

<p>I just got my SAT scores today (2400, by the way), and I'm ecstatic that I got a score of 12 on my essay. I wanted to share my preparation method for the essay. </p>

<p>I took the ACT a few weeks before the SAT. I practiced for everything except the essay, thinking that it would be a piece of cake. It turned out to be extremely stressful, and my lack of confidence and practice showed in my essay score (8).</p>

<p>I searched these forums for the most clear, concise essay advice. I stumbled upon AcademicHacker's "How to Write a 12 Essay in Just 10 Days". Disregarding the title, it's the best advice I could have ever taken. If you feel like you could use some help with your essay, please take the time to read through this guide: <a href="http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/sat-preparation/645763-how-write-12-essay-just-10-days.html?highlight=academichacker+essay%5B/url%5D"&gt;http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/sat-preparation/645763-how-write-12-essay-just-10-days.html?highlight=academichacker+essay&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p>

<p>Let me know what you think! I'll post my essay later, if that's allowed.</p>

<p>If you still have it, I would love to see it. </p>

<p>I don’t think there’s a rule against posting your own essay</p>
