Essay Tips?

<p>I'm absolutely AWFUL at SAT essays... I'm sure it's the one thing that's going to kill my SAT score. I simply can not write a good essay in 25 minutes!!! I spend the first 10 minutes staring at the question, frantically wracking my brain for something to say. I spend the next 5 minutes trying to construct my introduction. And then in the last 10 minutes, I hastily scrawl out my body paragraphs, hardly ever making it to my conclusion. Thankfully, I've only taken practice tests so far.</p>

<p>Does anyone have any advice they'd like to share? Anything will be helpful (:</p>

<p>you basically set up a template and have preset examples that work with the prompts and stuff. I plan on using it for the march sat and i’ve just started getting my examples together… i think ill be ready in time.</p>

<p>when you have everything preset and prepared you should be able to go a lot faster.</p>

<p>Ooh, thanks!! (:</p>
