<p>Topic: Does having too much information about public figures distract us from the important issues?</p>

<pre><code>Honestly speaking, the presupposition that having abundance information about public figures distract one from the important issues is absolutely true. In fact, the reason one looks deep-down into this is the reason why one wants more information; soon it becomes a habit. As the old legend said “Anything over limit is dangerous.” Nonetheless from personal experience, I have found this claim as nothing but the reality.

In the summer of 2013, I happen to watch television the entire summer only to come across an ‘Apple- Steve Jobs’ commercial, which not only attracted me but also others attention. Soon, in Saudi Arabia, the advertisement became viral. People stayed outside for days in the deep-painful remembrance of ‘late Steve jobs.’ Because Steve Jobs had became an interesting topic, I began to dig down every tad bits of information I could find on the internet. However doing so, I did not realize that Steve Jobs was not going to prepare me for my upcoming SAT. Ignorant in nature, I continued to watch all of his videos - Seminars, launching videos, promotional videos, and his motivational speeches. Yes, it was such an interesting summer but the time, I realized, was not spent wisely. Indeed, Steve Jobs is now dead soul, who will not go around me and whisper me all the tricks and techniques used to ace the SAT, but there was nothing much to do as it was late already. At the end, lastly due to grace of lord, I happen to figure out the spending time on public celebrities was in other way killing, murdering my wealthy time.

To reiterate, I advocate that one should not, never actually, spend over time on any public icons - as from my experience I have learned that it is utterly pointless and does nothing but distracts one from pivotal issues.

<p>Although, this isn't the perfect paradigm to represent my writing skills. I'd just like to know if this would end up with 12 on the SAT? If not, give me your suggestions : which skills should I focus more on? What types of examples should I include? How did you end up with essays like mine to a 12 on your SAT? Any personal suggestions that you may have found that nobody else knows?</p>

<p>This is not level 12 writing. I’d say somewhere around a 6. Mostly because it’s short. This would not fill up the 2 pages you are given. </p>

<p>Furthermore, I strongly recommend you don’t talk about the SAT in your SAT essay… Especially here, is your SAT really an “important issue”? </p>

<p>Your writing is alright, no major grammar issues but there are still some so make sure you get top notch on that. </p>

<p>Reread your essay and ask yourself was this convincing? If yes, why? and if not why? </p>

<p>You say at the end that we should NEVER spend any time focusing on public figures but is that really so. Your essay didn’t convince me of that.</p>

<p>Generally speaking, try to include varied examples, literature, current story, history, your personal life, etc. This will result in stronger writing.</p>

<p>In the end there is no secret, fill up those up two pages completely, you’ll most likely get a double digit score probably around a ten. </p>

<p>Getting a 12 is very difficult and honestly probably not worth the time. You can score 750+ with a 10 on the essay, and I don’t see why any college would view the score you got on an essay written in 25 minutes relevant. </p>

<p>Good luck!</p>
