<p>While some claim that there’s a simple “recipe” for writing a 10-12 essay my opinion is that for students who are consistently scoring an 8 (or lower) on the essay the challenge for improvement is often considerable. There are often three skill areas that need work: analysis, communication and writing.</p>
<p>Your best approach is to start by studying high scoring essays. Look not only into the writing mechanics in such essays but also at the analytic flow – i.e. how the writers went about addressing the thesis. You’ll see that they did so in a focused way; that they provided convincing examples; that they avoided making assertions without proof; that they chose the proofs with care – no extraneous narrative. And of course, you’ll find that the essay flows naturally – it’s well written.</p>
<p>Much is said about “writing mechanics” as the key to excellent essays. But in practice it is the analysis and communication that’s harder, and often lacking in mediocre essays.</p>
<p>Consider finding a mentor who writes well – a teacher, a friend, a parent. Work with them. Some SAT/ACT preparation books may be acceptable surrogates for a mentor.</p>
<p>I read several essays that got a 12 and came up with my own formula. I got an 11.</p>
<p>FULL 2 PAGES. YOU MUST HAVE THE FULL TWO PAGES.
