<p>It certainly can.</p>
<p>In October I got 720 in writing (71 MC and 10 essay).
In December I got 760 in writing (71 MC and 12 essay).</p>
<p>A 40 point increase is pretty massive considering that my essay was only two points higher.</p>
<p>It’s all about examples. Make them detailed and insightful. I talked about the Stanford Prison Experiment, The Truman Show (movie) and The Stranger by Albert Camus and that got me a 12.</p>
<p>To top it off, add lots of SAT words and make sure you use up all of the two pages.</p>
