<p>These are the words I used:</p>
<p>despondent
ephemeral
ascendancy
listless/listlessness
lethargic/lethargy
others...can't remember</p>
<p>^ Good words, but depends HOW you used them, not merely that you USED them.</p>
<p>Good luck, though.</p>
<p>Big words don't necessarily mean a high score.</p>
<p>Use the right word in the right place. Sometimes that means pulling a fancy word out of your bag of tricks. If you can pull it off, go for it.</p>
<p>But using big words incorrectly can also hurt your score.</p>
<p>Chances are, the graders have a better vocabulary than you do, and won't be overly impressed by your use of hifalutin words and phrases.</p>
<p>Unless you always use the right word in the right place.</p>
<p>Then you're golden.</p>
<p>lol i didnt have time to write a decent essay and incorporate big words in... i just used 2nd grade vocab if you know wat i mean lol</p>
<p>i didnt use any real words that were indicative of an extensive vocabulary but i got an 11 (i think it was because i spelled "compromise" wrong like 10x)</p>
<p>not using big words at most only gives you a 10 (in my experience)</p>
<p>Is it possible to get at least a 10 with only a one line conclusion but an intro and 3 body paragraphs?</p>
<p>^ Yes, I've read example essays that got an 11/12 with that format.
But they had great vocab, and sentence structure.
And by great, I mean phenomenal.</p>
