<p>Ok, sorry I made a new thread, but for everyone that is at around 9-10 essay scores, this can be a thread where we can try to boost our essays to 10s or higher.</p>
<p>So, for those of you who score >10 on the essay component, what can we May SAT writers do to get to over 10? What are suggestions, ideas, or things that graders are looking for to get to >10?</p>
<p>search up “how to get a 12 in 25 days” on this website. i think thats what it is called…well it worked for me. OH! and make sure ur very different. EX. Use movies like “UP” or something as your example.</p>
<p>Use strong examples to support your essay. The most recommended types of examples are literature, history, and current events.</p>
<p>is a 6 paragraph essay fine? i use 2 examples…2 paragraphs for each example.</p>
<p>is there anything that you guys do to get >10? anything special or anything that works for you?</p>
<p>i noticed that when i use book examples i get 10s probably because the reader can tell that it is a core example and not an average history one or a made up story</p>
<p>All I did was use a single example and got an 11.</p>
<p>Intro: Strong thesis at the beginning, mention example at the end
Body Paragraph I: Background information about your example
Body Paragraph II: Describe how your example relates to the prompt
Conclusion: Sum everything up and re-state your thesis.</p>
<p>Make sure to fill up every line.</p>
<p>I used a single example for the May 2010 test, and got the same grade and used the same system as Bassir. Here is what I did on the test</p>
<p>Intro: Strong these and briefly mention the atomic bomb
Body 1: Events and actions that led to the decision
Body 2: How it effected the war and the soldiers and citizens at the time
Body 3: How it effected school teaching and personal opinions
Conclusion: Incorporate your thesis and sum up what you just wrote in a persuasive way</p>
