<p>do you get marked off if your references are too obscure?</p>
<p>I’m very confused.</p>
<p>I thought every test has the same prompt, but it seems like I got an entirely different prompt. I hope, because none of the evidence you guys are talking about make sense with my prompt… o_O</p>
<p>Yeah, mine was about achievement from self-expectations…no creativity lol</p>
<p>^Okay same here. Phew.</p>
<p>Bill Gates and Hester from The Scarlet Letter</p>
<p>My teacher mentioned that TSL can be used for pretty much every essay prompt, so I made it work even though I wanted to rip that book to shreds.</p>
<p>i also made “rules” and “planning” interchangeable in my essay.</p>
<p>i talked about how the classical art movement limited expression with strict rules and meticulous premeditation. then the romanticism movement came along and artists followed their inner genius and great works of art were produced by the likes of hugo and later mozart.</p>
<p>and then in “blink”, the army does a drill where they have a computer lead the american army and a general lead the foreign enemy and the creative, spur-of-the-moment general dominated.</p>
<p>…off topic?</p>
<p>hey guys,the international prompt was
‘‘should we always strive to achieve our goal,no matter how hopeless it may seem’’
What do you think.It is much easier than yours,in my opinion.</p>
<p>by the way, i’m probably the only idiot who said “yes”.</p>
<p>im pretty sure i went off topic!</p>
<p>well, i didnt, but i didnt discuss the part about creativity.</p>
<p>i used the guy from Fight Club as an example and some guy i made up from a movie i made up as well (in spanish, i dont erally care)</p>
<p>oh mannnn, the int. prompt is so easy!</p>
<p>i used military warfare, the great gatsby (i think gatsby made a huge plan to get daisy), and middle passage.</p>
<p>Huh, looks like I took a different [wrong, even] tack here.</p>
<p>I kind of spun “planning” into “rules/convention”. My examples were Miles Davis [improvisation], Einstein [Theory of Relativity] and Jenner [Smallpox Vaccine].</p>
<p>I filled up both pages, nice indented paragraphs, pretty cleanly written, so who knows?</p>
<p>I THINK I MAY HAVE DONE THE ESSAY INCORRECTLY! OH MY GOD, do you HAVE to use examples from history or literature? Because I am SURE that my essay was fine w/o it, but is it in the rules that you need it.</p>
<p>^ that’s my stance too.</p>
<p>Wait…how many prompts were there? Mine was “Do highly accomplished people achieve more due to higher expectations?”</p>
<p>theReach, that was mine too. But did you HAVE to use historical/literary examples.</p>
<p>Whats wrong with you.Of course you dont need historica/lietarcy examples.This is absurd !!! Last time i took the SAT i used 3 made up examples from my personal life and got a 12 !!</p>
<p>I used Davinci, the Muses, and Einstein.</p>
<p>Yes that’s true, you don’t need historical/literary. But I think they were useful for our prompt NEvitably. I talked about Andrew Carnegie (historical) and Clint Eastwood (modern).</p>
<p>I talked about Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde and The Kite Runner for my “successful think they are better or something” prompt.</p>
