<p>I think you will do fine. Your writing is similar to mine, and I received a 12 on my essay on the May SAT (to my surprised). I only used 2 examples (1 historical and 1 literature, exempted personal) and put in just a few somewhat large words (ostentatious, avant-garde were some). Try and lengthen out your conclusion by restating what the examples imply i.e "As seen in Hamlet, and the events occurring in Vietnam, blah blah blah" I ended my essay with a totally PS, open ended philosophical idea which I suppose worked. Use alot of transition phrases like "Furthermore, moreover, Subsequently, Hitherto, Evidently"</p>
