<p>I guess maybe you did.
I presumed that someone from AIM was you. His sn is very similar to your username, and hes from cc. But after talking to him its obviously not you, because he was suppose to be at some university, instead of taking a test.
My bad.</p>
<p>The essay topic was "do organizations or groups to be most successful need their members to pursue individual wishes and goals."</p>
<p>uhhh we definitely had a different prompt........how does that work???</p>
<p>Farralicious - I had a different prompt too. I think there are usually at least two different ones between the forms, so that people can't cheat as easily.</p>
<p>Usually there's 4 different prompts.</p>
<p>My prompt was different... Politics and leaders could definitely be used as examples for my topic as well - dealt with when/when not to be loyal.</p>
<p>k cool thanks=) this was my first sat...</p>
<p>my prompt was like dekscholar's. it just asked: should people always be loyal?</p>
<p>i totally screwed up on it and i only filled about a page and a half. ahhh. i'm also reading the other threads and man oh man i got so many wrong! bleh i hate this month's test.</p>
<p>Mine was the loyalty one. I used the Tiananmen Square Incident and, I guess, stretched a bit with Edison. Wish I didn't really freak out near the end. Thought I was being mistimed (okay, so it felt shorter than 25 minutes, but then again, I normally have around five minutes when I'm finishing up my second body paragraph).</p>
<p>I used the Andy Pettite and Roger Clemens as well ...</p>
<p>I used two examples on my December essay and I got a 12. Don't sweat it.</p>
<p>I got the loyalty one and I said that people are only loyal as long as their basic needs are being fulfilled. Used Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs (tooootal BS) and Muhammed Ali.</p>
<p>Mine was teamwork.</p>
<p>I used:
There's no "I" in teamwork (some poster I saw in 6th grade.)</p>
<p>WWII-Germany "backstabbed" Soviet Union</p>
<p>Macbeth-(Own ambition to be king. Not good for kingdom...)</p>
<p>I had Loyalty and used the Franco-American Alliance during the Revolutionary War and Russia's betrayal of the Axis Powers in WWII.</p>
<p>K so far we have 3 Essay questions, need one more. I'm guessing the last one is for international students.
1) Individual goals/dreams compared to one goal/dream.
2) Loyalty - when to use/not to use
3) Teamwork - (Good/Bad)??</p>
<p>I had loyalty and said it's always good (lol...). I used the civil war and the count of monte cristo to illustrate what happens when you aren't loyal.</p>
<p>Btw I wrote about 1 and 1/3 pages, is that enough to get a 12? I honestly don't think I could have written any faster and I had my example within 1 minute.</p>
<p>Fountainhead!!! (it seemed tailor-made for that prompt no?) and a personal example. I wrote up to the last line. ^.^</p>
<p>I made up a personal example and I wrote about Watson and Crick/Franklin. Yeah, I also wrote 1.5 pages...do they REALLY penalise you for not writing up to the very last line?</p>
<p>Huck finn and jim- work together to achieve freedom, better than if they worked together to realiz individual goals.</p>
<p>yayy i used that too, wasnt sure because do two people count as an organization? whatever i think it works =]</p>
<p>Nader improving consumer safety standards
Army
and personal ancedote</p>
<p>i wanted my intro to be 'creative' so i just used american football teams in general...gosh i took too long writing that and ran outta time at the end</p>
<p>my two examples:
Gilded Age
WWII winston churchill <---this one was rushed and BAD</p>
<p>i was thinkin about 1984 at first but then the stupid side of my brain told me i couldn't use it. and now i'm so upset b/c that book would've been perfect...BUT i didn't "see" it durin the test...ugh</p>
