<p>my essays arent always the best, so would a third example guarantee me a five.</p>
<p>also which is better, two examples that are good or three examples with the third being average because i was rushing.</p>
<p>Nope, they don't look at how many examples you are putting in but HOW you are presenting those examples.</p>
<p>2 examples that are good = Better choice.
I know a friend whose aunt was an SAT grader and she told me that her instructions were to look for exactly 2 examples.</p>
<p>Just use two examples and make them really detailed and focused ( on topic ).</p>
<p>agreed. i got an 11 with 2. you should be fine</p>
<p>i also have a question...do they have to be real examples or could they be personal examples as well (in that case you could make them up)</p>
<p>I scored an 11 with three examples.</p>
<p>But stick with two if you can't come up with a strong third.</p>
<p>If you feel that one of your three examples is weaker than the other two, don't put the weakest example last. It's much better to build to a strong finish than look like you ran out of ideas.</p>
