My essay had an accuracy error!

<p>I wrote that rules and limitations placed on Nixon led to his impeachment, but I should have wrote resignation - which is more accurate. I guess one could say impeachment was imminent - this can't be too bad can it?</p>

<p>Honestly, the grader may not even know if he was impeached or if he resigned. As long as you have plenty of other relevant examples, it shouldn’t take away much from your essay.</p>

<p>Including an inaccurate example is probably similar to just omitting that example from the paper.</p>

<p>That was one of my two, or three, depending if one looks at women and black rights as one or two examples. Thankfully it was one sentence only, and the emphasis was on that rules and limitations just got Nixon the hell out of office - I really didn’t consider how he got out of office</p>

<p>I just checked and it says the SAT does not grade on historical accuracy, nor do they take off for factual error - but you never know if theres going to be a stiff in the group of readers</p>

<p>yeah I’m really hoping I did well on my essay too… the difference between an 8 essay and a 10-11 essay can make or break your score :/</p>

<p>I had the prompt that asked “do you think that if we worked less at work or school, then we would have more energy to be creative while we’re not at school?”</p>

<p>I kinda spent too much time on my intro, and only included a few little examples about how albert einstein went to school and worked hard yet was still creative enough to derive mass energy equivalence, and how JFK got a college education from harvard and was creative enough to deal with segregation and communism properly…</p>

<p>REAllY hoping for a 10+…</p>

<p>good luck man, I’m sure we did ok…</p>

<p>Got the work and play prompt. </p>

<p>I actually understood it differently, I viewed it as saying “uf we work harder, do we play harder?”</p>

<p>I started talking about Oppenheimer’s work on the Manhattan project and how that led him to relax more than he used to. My second example involved Janie from <em>Their Eyes Were Watching God</em>, and I talked about how although she only cooked for Logan, she had no play time. When she managed a store for Jody, she was even less happy, and was unable to talk to anybody on the porch, so she didn’t really enjoy her free time. However, when she is with Tea Cake picking beans and working hard, she finds time to go hunting, gambling, dancing, et cetera. </p>

<p>Hopefully we all get good scores on our essays, good luck!</p>
