I keep getting 9's on the Essay Section...

<p>I am shooting for at least a 750 on the writing section though. The main part that I need your guys help on is the essay. (I am working on the multiple choice though). </p>

<p>The last two times I got scores of:
42 right 5 wrong 0 omitted 9 essay out of 47 questions 690
44 right 3 wrong 2 omitted 9 essay out of 49 questions 680.</p>

<p>After the first time, I hadnt really practiced, so my result was pretty much the same. But, I really want help with the essay. I know I can get an 11, I just need some tips and advice.</p>

<p>I am not a bad writer, I do fine in all my English classes (and I'm not trying to brag at all), its just frustrating to get a score of 9 twice. </p>

<p>What are some of the things that I really need to keep in mind or try to do in order to get at least an 11 which I know I am capable of hitting?</p>

<p>I do try to use some advanced vocabulary, and I usually try to make my essays really personal--though the last two times I think I tried to put in too much personal details and so I became bogged down on one body. As a result, I did not have much time to expand in the other body/bodies.</p>

<p>Thanks again!</p>

<p>You've probably seen a million "12s" but if you want to see mine I'll give you the link. My trick was making the essay sound really elementary in a stlylistic sense (though I used some "big" words, I restated all my ideas so that everything was clear)</p>
