<p>I was actually planning on using 2 lit and 1 historical but I ran out of time. Does diversity in examples matter?</p>
<p>If it makes any difference I filled up both pages.</p>
<p>I think you’ll be okay as long as they don’t have similar plots/themes</p>
<p>Uh oh, they do have similar plots/themes.</p>
<p>huh?
I used 2 lit and 1 historical examples back in the oct test and I got a 12 lol
well, then against i guess macbeth and animal farm arent exactly similar eh</p>
<p>I used two common lit examples in nov. scarlet let & gatsby. I got a 12</p>
<p>I used the space race and the cold war, is that fine too?</p>
<p>LOL, only on CC would you find a thread like this… :P</p>
<p>Honestly though, you’re fine. As long as you supported your position adequately and filled up both pages, I don’t see any reason why you’d get a low score. :D</p>
<p>fffffffffffffuuuuuuuuu- I filled the first page and did 2/5 to 1/2 on the second, is this fine?</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>For reference, I barely made it past the first page on the May '09 SAT and got an 8. I don’t think you should have a problem either, as long as your support is strong.</p>
<p>Blech. I hadn’t done the essay under timed conditions before the real thing, so I had 5 minutes to write my second example and the conclusion. That resulted in an irrelevant-ish first example and a 5-line, underdeveloped second one. Goodbye, hopes of 800 W.</p>
<p>LOL. I actually used Harry Potter as one of my examples.</p>
<p>^ Oooooh, smart! I couldn’t think of ANY lit examples. Mine were both historical. Blerg.</p>
<p>as long as its 2 pages u will get 10+</p>
<p>I wrote incomplete, with 2 stupid fantasy example , 1and 1/2 page and got a 8 
</p>
<p>my friend wrote complete essay one page ( 3 examples) got a 7 :O</p>
<p>I used two historical examples, but I don’t know if I’ll hit a score above 8. The last essay was definitely written better than the other two.</p>
<p>
so did I. I’m so nervous about my essay, and EVERYTHING! I WANT TO HAVE MY SCORE RIGHT NOW!!</p>
<p>I did 1984 and Fahrenheit 451 if anyone’s wondering. Both are super similar.</p>
<p>I did 1984 and was about to use Fahrenheit but then decided against repeating myself [since I would’ve basically said the same thing about both]. </p>
<p>Oh, and I don’t see how it’s possible to write 2 pages in 25 mins! you guys must be fast writers or I just must have very small handwriting in comparison to the ones that managed to do it. The most I’ve ever written [writing furiously for about 22 minutes] was a page and a half before time was up.</p>
<p>what if i only wrote like 3/4 of a page to 4/5 of a page but used good example, just slow writer can i get 10/11
?</p>
<p>???</p>
<p>^As much as College Board may say that length doesn’t matter, I think it actually does.</p>
<p>how does fahrenheit 451 and the great gatsby have to do with the prompt? i cant make a connection. especially the great gatsby</p>
