<p>Inconsistency is commonly thought to be an undesirable personality trait, and inconsistent people are viewed as indecisive and weak willed. On the other hand, firm commitment to an idea or plan of action is associated with personal and intellectual strength, stability, and honesty. Thus, once we have made a choice or taken a stand, it is best not to change.</p>
<p>Adapted from Robert B. Cialdini, Influence: How and Why People Agree to Things </p>
<p>I would give it a 3... which would equal a 6/12.</p>
<p>I think you can improve your essay by stating specific examples instead of generalizing and saying "great leaders". Name 1 or 2 great leaders that didn't change their minds or something.</p>
<p>yea, this is probably a 3 or a 4 at best (between 6 and 8). There are several grammatical errors in addition to the broad sweeping generalizations. The SAT really really looks for examples in writing to prove a point while you only provide assertions. The writing style is fine but really the lack of an actual example probably hurt you. Its not really worth it to rescore (just a waste of money b/c remember two people already gave it the same score or a score differing by 1 and its not likely to change). Just save the $50? and retake it. Also as superficial as this seems make sure the essay fills up the whole 2 pages. An MIT study shows that if you graded the SAT essay purely by length (i.e. the longest get 6's the shortest get 1's) and then compare it to the actual score, its right over 90% of the time.</p>
<p>It's not very good.. you use decent vocabulary but you use it in a way that makes it seem like you brought a thesaurus to the test. It doesn't flow in any sense of the word.</p>
<p>I got a 6/12, doubt I will get a 5/12 or lower. Going to rescore it b/c money isn't a problem and my MV scores were high so I dont want to retake it (also b/c I've already taken it 2 times so far).</p>
<p>Since each essay point is like 22 ish points I figure I might as well try =p. Monah aint a tang. <</p>
