<p>I got the highest score on the section I care about the least! (Writing).</p>
<p>I decided to experiment with my essay this time, since it didn’t matter nearly as much. I’ve taken the SAT twice; my first essay was a 9, with pompous vocabulary, bookish sentence structure and lacking elaboration. It also did not have a coherent thesis that addressed the prompt. The second essay was more concise and less academic. The first essay used history for the examples, while this 8 essay used operating systems (Windows, Mac, and Linux). My second essay was tremendously better in every aspect. Conclusion: Either the essay section is BS, or the graders have low computer literacy and think words like “operating system” are esoteric vocabulary. :)</p>
