<p>Did anyone come up with a list of "go-to" public figures/literary pieces/events in history that can be applied to many of the SAT Essay topics? </p>
<p>If yes, was this strategy effective once you actually took the test? And, as always, examples are appreciated ;)</p>
<p>thanks for the link Skatj!
..I Will be getting a better grade on my essay now!
lol</p>
<p>hahaa, every essay part, I make a list of every single book I could think of. Depending on the prompt, I'll choose one or two of the books from the list I make :). If none of them relate to the prompt, well... I make it fit the prompt! :D</p>
<p>My list is usually something like this:</p>
<p>Lord of the Flies
Fahrenheit 451
Julius Caesar
East of Eden
Their Eyes were Watching God
Romeo And Juliet
The Crucible
Candide
The Grapes of Wrath
The Scarlet Letter</p>
<p>there are probably some other books, but that list is usually enough for any given prompt.</p>
<p>I also get examples from historic events/people like</p>
<p>world war I
world war II
the great depression
Benjamin franklin (fits a lot of the prompts because hes open minded, etc, and you can say a lot of things about him (: )</p>
<p>When all else fails for me, I make up a story :D</p>
<p>thanks guys, this is what i was looking for</p>
