<p>With all due respect, what are you talking about? At least I don’t sit for 10 minutes on the SAT just thinking. 10 minutes into the section, I tend to be done with 3/4ths of a page. And if anything pressure makes me write faster, not slower. Although I do find myself needing 2 mins to think about what examples to use. (At the end of 2, I start writing even if I don’t have 3 examples and just leave a space in my intro for it. I then keep thinking while I’m writing the other two examples.) And how do YOU “write [and] check” two full pages in 10 minutes? I’m not sure if that is humanely possible.</p>

<p>I think you just need to fine-tune from here. I mean you have it down. You could maybe try adding an example or something, but I think your essay is fine. Even if you do two examples, you should be fine especially since you analyzed your examples pretty deeply. Good luck on the Jan 2010 SAT btw.</p>
