<p>on a friend's pr tests, she usually makes up a quote, yes as strange/unbelievable as it sounds, and it gets the job done. topics are usually phiolosophical in nature, so she picks a philosophers name, and more or less rewords what's given, and molds it into a decent quote. will that work on SAT essays?</p>
<p>your question is this basically. "i have a friend who makes up personal stories and uses them as examples. is that allowed?" you can answer that question for yourself and that is the answer to your question. people bs on sat's all the time and no one cares. on one of my essays, i accidently said WWI was in 1944 and i still got a 11 essay.</p>
<p>SAT writing graders grade how well you write and incorporate evidence, either if its true or false</p>
<p>I made up all my personal examples in my essay and still got a 11/12.
The readers DON'T CARE if you know your history, science, or whether your personal experience are true or not. ALL THEY are LOOKING for is whether you can CLEARLY express your ideas in your ESSAY. You can BS all your examples and as long as they make SENSE and makes the essay FLOW its perfectly fine. All readers are looking for is whether you know how to write an essay( for SAT its usually 5 paragraphs( intro, 3 bodies, and conclusion) Specific examples for each Body. Keep it simple. Don't make it too complex. The bottom line is the READERS don't care whether you know your history, literature, sciences. They don't care whether your personal examples are true or false. All they care is if you know how to clearly express your ideas.</p>
<p>HOWEVER!!! IN COLLEGE BS just doesn't cut it. You have to know your facts.</p>
<p>^^ agree. I'm not a fan of using quotes in the conclusion but the readers could probably care less.</p>
<p>wats the best way to conclude?? is there sometype of formula out there?? lol, but, um i know its bad to restate the prompt they give you, and the last thing i wanna do is introduce a new idea, which i always tell myself im doing..so yea, any good finishers out there?</p>
