<p>Hi. I had taken October's exam and got a 6 out of 12 in the essay. Am going to take December's test, and i really need a helpful plan which I can follow in the remaining 38 days to score a 10 at least in December's test.
Any suggestions ?</p>
<p>I found that the best way to prepare for the essay was really just to practice. Make sure that you can come up quality examples for each time that you write.</p>

The real problem with my essay isn’t the examples, but the way i write the topic sentences, the intros, and the conclusion. I dunno how to write an impressive intro and conclusion</p>
<p>@Hypocrit try to be as specific as possible, Broad generalizations kill the essay </p>
<p>This is what I do… It may or may not work for you.</p>
<p>Sound like you’re the man. For example:</p>
<p>Community service is a necessity for all students of high school, not only to improve their character, but also to introduce the discipline required to contribute to the advancement of society. Therefore, community service should be mandatory, so that there would be fewer teenagers confined within their prisons of ignorance. As demonstrated by my observations of my peers, the ignorance of the children in /BOOK/, and the decline of certain ideals in American society, …</p>
<p>Basically, talk like you own the stage, transitioning from one idea to another. The parallels between my peers and the children are manifold-- they are not only suffering from… and then introduce next idea. You just need to demonstrate you know how to WRITE, not much else. Even if you are a pompous jerk (nah:P), the graders will not detract you for that.</p>
<p>Also, make sure to have proper grammar, spelling and the essentials. If not, those are sores that would lead to reviewers to detract points (they are human too… and certain things, such as spelling simple words wrong, pisses people off).</p>
<p>Well, those are my opinions. I’m not sure how it will work for you, but confidence is never bad (though not much help in MC. Good luck! Just practice your endurance and write well and you should be fine. </p>
