<p>what did yall think of that sucky prompt on the dec SAT like what examples did you use and DID IT MAKE ANy sense to you that "truth" could be in the middle.</p>
<p>Actually, I loved the prompt compared to the other prompts; it lends itself nicely to historical/current event examples since it is relevant to debates and stuff. </p>
<p>Here's the examples I used:</p>
<p>Body Paragraph #1: Historical
-Great Compromise (States' representation)
-Clay's Missouri Compromise (36 30 line)</p>
<h1>2: Current Events</h1>
<p>-Abortion
-Iraq War</p>
<p>If I got an 11 on the last SAT using JK Rowling and a made-up friend as my examples (I know, messed up, huh?), I should be able to get a 12.</p>
<p>i hated this prompt.</p>
<p>i used the nature/nurture debate, howard dean, and some lame personal example.</p>
<p>i filled up both pages.</p>
<p>i dont really care what i get though, since i got a 740 on the october test. thats good enough for me.</p>
<p>this was my first SAT but I thought the prompt was pretty good compared to some in the practice books. I did mine on the trial (is it self defense or murder) in The Stranger by Camus, Religious Extremism (christians bombing abortion clinics vs. jesus teachings), and slander in politics (2nd election between Jackson and Q. Adams where Jackson's wife was accused of adultery). </p>
<p>Hope i did well. tell me if this sounds good.</p>
<p>It was kinda weirdly worded...</p>
<p>I said a moderate approach to issues is most likely to result in an acceptable outcome to both parties</p>
<ol>
<li>Henry Clay - The great compromiser (expansion of slavery)</li>
<li>The foundation of the US constitution (state vs federal power)</li>
<li>Atticus Finch in TKM (avoided physical confrontation and didn't not respond at all... went in the middle) <<yeah really ****ty example but I was desperate</li>
</ol>
<p>If I spelled "compromise" wrong a bunch of times in the paper, will that really negatively affect my score?</p>
<p>The prompt was difficult for me. First 5 minutes, i had no idea to write. But i wrote about debates: earth was flat or round, smallest matter in the universe, capitalism vs communism. These debates have already true solutions. But i didn't reaview my essay. So sad</p>
<p>Prompt was easy for me, but I was so nervous that I spent most of my time thinking while I was writing slowly.</p>
<p>I said truth was in middle, and I used stem cell research and a personal example. Only 2 examples. I found through my practice essays that I wrote better using 2 long, elaborated examples rather than 3 short, terse, and marginal examples. </p>
<p>I nearly filled both pages up and would've gone over had I been not as nervous and slow in the beginning. Rushed on my personal example a bit.</p>
