Judge my SAT Essay Template ?

Test Preparation

<p>After reading the "How to write a 12 essay in 10 days" guide, I decided to create my own template in a more understandable fashion for myself. I have not tested this template yet on the real SAT, so can anyone comment on my template and give suggestions to it? THANKS</p>

<p>I take a dim view of this sort of thing because it misleads a lot of people. These systems of essay production are not totally worthless, but none of them can do your thinking for you, and it is the quality of thought and information that goes into an essay that makes it strong. Your template is like a computer program…GIGO (garbage in…garbage out) And after you take the time to learn it, of what further use is it?</p>

Yeah you are 100% right. This template cannot do the thinking for me, and it will limit how my ideas develop and precipitate throughout the essay. But as a FOB, I think the template can allow me to have temporary means to get a decent score (8-12) on the essay. I will work on it more in the future. But for now I think I need to rely on the 80:20 method to succeed in my essay.</p>

<p>If you are already a good writer, the template is unlikely to hurt you. Good luck.</p>
