In my essay, I used personal and historical anecdotes in my SAT essay and I’m a competent writer, better than many people in my AP English class. I received an 8. I felt something was off. I guessed I receive an 8 because of my horrible handwriting and because the scan of my essay was difficult to read for the graders.

Perhaps your anecdotes were not explained well enough for your readers to follow. Perhaps they didn’t relate well enough to the prompt. Post them up later and we can look at them for you.</p>

Thanks Kean for the compliment. You pulled off an even more incredibly hard feat: a 2400. Congrats.

Thank you.</p>

Kean, I like the two essays you posted and your comments. Can you tell me the prompts of those essays? thanks.

I’m glad you like my friend’s essays. The prompts were pretty straightforward. The first one from May 2009 was something like, “Should feelings be the ultimate guide in decision-making?” And the second one from November 2009 was something like, “Does family help one succeed?”</p>
