<p>Thanks for the input!

<p>Examples do give me plenty of trouble. Sometimes, I can find more than adequate examples from literature, history, AND personal experience. However… like in the TV prompt [url=<a href=“http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/sat-preparation/551873-rate-my-essay-please.html]here[/url”>Rate my Essay please! - SAT Preparation - College Confidential Forums]here[/url</a>], history and literature fail me. That’s what I’m most worried about. What if I CAN’T find any examples? What do I do then? Do I make them up? 25 minutes doesn’t seem long enough for a quality essay.

<p>Finally, I have another question: Should I first study for the SAT using Barron’s How to Prepare 2008 or Barron’s 2400?
I realize Barron’s 2400 is more difficult, but this way, I can be prepared for the worst right from the start. Or should I do it later to just polish my skills?</p>
<p>Merci!</p>
<p>PS - Can I use simple words form French to make me sound smarter in the SAT? :D</p>
