<p>one of the writing section has the topic of something about working together as a group when they go on some kind of tournament or something.. i dont exactly remember.</p>
<p>my essay question was saying are you more productive and successful if you dont listen to peoples opinions.....i had nothing to write about</p>
<p>I took the same test as you Stuck-on-1700...</p>
<p>u and i had same essay topic swim2daend
it was pretty STUPID..... i put like nonsense examples to try to make sound smart! :-)</p>
<p>I HATED my essay topic - the Abe Lincoln one about whether happiness is within the control of our minds. I had NO examples that really fit, so I just BSed it all the way (I know everyone BSes it, but I did some really weird, structurally incorrect things...). </p>
<p>And then the proctor didn't announce 5 mins to time (they always do where I take it!), so I wrote a really crappy last sentence as my conclusion embedded in my 3rd body paragraph...!</p>
<p>haha same....i didnt even get to finish aand when they called time i realized i barely answered the topic question so i screwed that up</p>
<p>Did anyone use literay examples for the ignoring opinions essay?</p>
<p>haha i had the ignorance essay and i thought it sucked</p>
<p>I mentioned Bill Clinton economic success due to NOT ignoring others opinions.</p>
<p>I mentioned Oedipus Rex and how he ignored others opinions abotu fate and ultimately his life sucked.</p>
<p>And I mentioned how Harry Truman had the resolve to drop the atomic bombs in spite of potential opinions otherwise.</p>
<p>My essay wasn't very good though.</p>
<p>It was 5 paragraphs, but i didn't use language very well and kinda rushed toward teh end.</p>
<p>O well.</p>
<p>I seriously scribbled toward the end. I'm pretty sure it would be illegible even to me...</p>
<p>I used Antigone as an example of ignoring opinions, you think that will work?</p>
<p>i used siddhartha. how he ignored the opinion of the elder buddha and went on his own path to find nirvana</p>
<p>anything could really work if the explanations are good and make sense
i even put like john rockefeller dominating oil industry in gilded age which dont really make sense but i made something up so it sounds persuasive</p>
<p>wow. ~~~10</p>
<p>on ignoring opinions i used Abe Lincoln, Holden Caulfield, George Patton</p>
<p>Are the international tests comprised of the same sections?</p>
<p>is it ok that i used 2 literature examples forthe essay instead of a "variety" of support like history and ce etc>?</p>

<p>They're usually not. Most of the time everything, including the essay topiv and passages, is different.</p>
<p>For those of you who had the Abe Lincoln Happiness essay; what examples did you use? I couldn't think of anything good to write; no literary examples came to mind. So I made up a really dumb personal experience that I thnik may be off topic lol.</p>
