Number of Examples in One SAT Essay

<p>So I have read many instructions on how to write the SAT essay within 25 minutes, and the basic idea is to prepare enough examples beforehand. However, some say to use two detailed examples while others recommend three examples to make the essay full of content. So to those who achieved a 10+ on essay, how many examples do you use, two or three?</p>

<p>Use two if they are really good examples. If not and they are just mediocre examples, use three.</p>

<p>@MedicalBoy, can you say more about whether an example is good?</p>

<p>It depends on the prompt. If your examples really prove your point and really persuade your reader you can stick with two. You got to make the call.</p>
