<p>hi guys</p>
<p>how long should the essay on SATｉ ｂｅ？
mine for OCT６ was only 1.5 pages, i have a few lines left behind but i swear i was writing like mad....</p>
<p>does that mean i will never get 11,or 12 since i didnt finish all the lines?</p>
<p>thx!</p>
<p>You can get an 11 or 12 with 1.5 pages, in fact as long as you write more than 1 page I'd say you still would have an ok chance.</p>
<p>thanks IBP!</p>
<p>anyone else?</p>
<p>last time, i wrote 1.5 pages, and scored a 10. This time, i wrote all 2 pages. I am now starting to doubt whether it was a good idea or not. I know my essay is good, but those graders......who knows they might be angry i made them read for so long. It doesnt matter how long IMO. As long as u have a clear thesis, with substantial evidence to back you up</p>
<p>Kevin, I think the majority of 12s fill up both page, so don't be worried that readers might be annoyed by the length of your essay.. to the contrary, they might look at the length and unconsciously assume it's well-written.</p>
<p>i filled 1 and 3/4 this time and am hoping for an 11 or 12.</p>
<p>i got a 12 and wrote a line more than the space they gave me the first time around.</p>
<p>I ran out of room! I didn't know there were only 2 pages, so my essay ends sort of abruptly. :(</p>
<p>i had the topic about id (i never actually discussed the real question ha!) anyways... i wrote sort of about America and how we created a identity for ourselves. You think that's ok? After writing a while, i realized the question asked whether PEOPLE created their identity or not</p>
<p>^won't matter much I think. </p>
<p>The first time I had 1.75 pages and got a 11, second time I squeezed my last line in the bottom and got a 12. I think there's the difference. :D</p>
