<p>So what essay prompts did everyone have and what examples did you use?</p>
<p>I had the competition or cooperation for success one.</p>
<p>Competition/Cooperation for success also.. I used Lord of the Flies and the Philadelphia Convention. Ran out of time though so I'm looking at an 8 or so.</p>
<p>I had the deception and pretending one</p>
<p>guess its for internationals</p>
<p>Same as yours. Used MLKJR (very high vocab on this one.)
Started with a modest intro (1 sentence). It was
To me the belief that competition yeilds success seems chimerical to me because of the plethora of evidence from history, literature, and myself that supports cooperation over competition.
I kind of overused chimerical but eh. Seemed good to me.
3rd Paragraph was LOTF. Used OK vocab (2 or 3 college level words).
Last one was made up example. No special vocab. Seemed kind of bad.. but I needed more so I added it. Conclusion seemed ok... It was 3 sentences. My essay took up whole page too!</p>
<p>i used discovery of DNA / othermedicine research and professional sports teams players working with each other instead of trying to pile up stats.</p>
<p>i dont know if i went off topic a bit.</p>
<p>intro was very good like 10 high caliber words filled up .4 pages</p>
<p>and wrote in everything except last 3 lines</p>
<p>what do you guys think i got?</p>
<p>Populist movement and subsequent success of the Progressive movement, cutthroat competition in education today; tied in with the banking concept of education</p>
<p>Same as everyone else. I wrote about Obama and Matewan. I would have written about a civil rights related thing, but i did that for my last SAT</p>
<p>anyone else plan their essay beforehand? i was hoping the essay would be a fairly generic one and it was</p>
<p>I meant to preplan, but I never actually did...
I wish I had...</p>
<p>oh you guys had competition and success?</p>
<p>i got questioning authority or summat.</p>
<p>coop/comp. I did Germany WWII, NK/Iran prolif, and personal life. Ehhh, I feel okay about it. I got 12/12 last time but don't feel as good about this one.</p>
<p>i had competition.. i used the X-prize( for commercial space craft), Microsoft giving money to hackers who find glitches, and I altered the plot of "prey" by michael crichton to fit the question.. i have used that book on all 3 tests i have taken lol</p>
<p>coop/comp</p>
<p>chose coop
New England v. Philadelphia (TO)

I also wrote very big!!!</p>
<p>coop/comp
haha i used LOTF as well. I also talked about the failure of the albany plan of union and the american revolution and team sports too. i pulled it all together pretty nicely, though. my conclusion was two pretty bad sentences, bc i ran out of time. do they take off a lot for that??</p>
<p>coop/comp i used the international space staion and the UN</p>
