<p>The novelist John Hersey wrote, "Learning starts with failure; the first failure is the beginning of education."</p>
<p>Assignement: What are your thoughts on the idea that failure is necessary for education to take place?</p>
<p>Since the beginning of time, people have seeked to advance themselves, socially, economically, or politically, through various endeavors. They have, often na</p>
<p>people have “sought”. Don’t make a mistake in the first sentence. I like how you didn’t try to force random SAT words in there. </p>
<p>And also, how long is your essay? It has to almost fill up both SAT test pages if you want a higher score. </p>
<p>I would give it a 5/6</p>
<p>Good luck!</p>
<p>Wait, so it is NOT good to incorporate SAT words if they are “random”?</p>
<p>if you have a month or so to prep for the sats. i highly recommend test masters! you can send in your essays, and have two readers actually grade the essay and send you a score.
its really nice. </p>
<p>plus their strategies are awesome <em>290 pt increase</em></p>
<p>It’s good to incorporate SAT words into your essay. However, it’s bad if it sounds forced, which it often times does. If you use it, make sure its connotation fits your sentence exactly. </p>
<p>I’ve taken the SAT 3 times and the only time I did really well was when I:</p>
<p>a) did not try to insert a random “iconoclast” into my topic sentence
b) used original examples (No MLK!)
c) almost filled up the entire 2 pgs
d) wrote with a formulaic structure</p>
<p>Good luck!</p>

I actually completely filled up the two pages - I guess I just have big writing.
Thank you for grading it, I really appreciate it. Any other tips as to how I can improve?</p>
<p>“b) used original examples (No MLK!)”</p>
<p>By the way, what -is- MLK?</p>
<p>Martin Luther King.</p>
<p>Oooh… Thank you.
You can tell I haven’t been in the US for a while.</p>
