<p>It is the essay in practice test 6 in the BB, if you were wondering.</p>

<p>There is, of course, no legitimate branch of science that enables us to predict the future accurately. yet the degree of change in teh world is so overwhelming and so promising that the future, I believe is far brighter than anyone has contemplated since the end of the Second World War. </p>

<p>Assignment: Is the world changing for the better? </p>

<pre><code>Our world is constantly changing. While it is impossible to predict the future, one can easily guess, based on the changes currently happening. Since World War II, the world has most definitely made positive changes and progressed with time. There are numerous aspects of our world that epitomize change for the better. Therefore, one can assume change for the better in the future as well.

Technology has, undoubtedly, changed a tremendous amount since World War II. Computers, for example have become easier to use. Furthermore, computers have become faster and smaller, while doing more work. Because these are desirable qualities, one can portend that computers will be even better in the future.

Medicine is an area of science that has also improved greatly. Doctors have become more medically adroit, and they can work with much greater brevity than before. Previously, doctors had been slow and poorly educated, but with great advances in education and science, doctors are becoming more precise in their practices. One of the biggest evidences to buttress the improvement in medicine is the increasing life-expectancy. People are living longer, because medicine is improving. Therefore, one could accurately say that, in the future, medical experts will be even better.

There is no person who can argue that the world is not changing. It is impossible, however, to predict how the world will change in the future. Based on present-day changes, such as those in medicine and technology, though, one can easily see that the world will improve and be better for our posterity.

<p>Thank you for your grades!!!!</p>

<p>Very clear outline, but I doubt that That god damn College Board shall grade you 4 or 5 something. I don't know :)
But I think it is indeed all that one can do for getting good grade. Sometimes it is too mad to know that your essay has been ruined by those grading animals.</p>

3

<p>Thanks. Out of 6 right?</p>

<p>Just for future reference, anybody else who wants to grade it, what would it be out of 12?</p>

4

<p>I think if you can maximise your pen, increases, metamorphose or even pseudomorphose those two examples, you may get score higher. Damn it, 25 minutes, I have to write essay with my right hand while holding my pant with my left hand.</p>

5

<p>anyone else?</p>

<p>Cuong - don't give score predictions when you aren't sure of them... This essay is probably an 8 or 9. You need to get much more specific with your examples. For technology, you can talk about the Internet bringing people together, public transportation allowing people to get around more cheaply and efficiently, TVs streaming entertainment and news to the masses 24/7, A/C and heating improving our quality of life. For medicine, you can talk about new vaccines, better awareness of the importance of hygiene, earlier diagnoses of chronic illnesses, more attention to the nutritous value of what we eat, and so on. Even though your essay is pretty short, you're already going around in circles because almost all of your statements are so general. </p>

<p>I remember seeing this essay prompt before, and I think it's one of the 'odd ones' in that it's more narrow and time-specific than the average SAT prompt. For instance, the majority of SAT prompts ask questions that can be answered with literary examples, but I can't really think of a great way to incorporate literary examples into an answer for this one. Most SAT prompts ask something about the human condition.</p>

7

<p>I don't know really.
Because when you think it is 9 or 8, it is not. The college board is the representation of uncertainty. I mean no harm. The more you try to be strict to yourself, the more you shall make progress.</p>

8

<p>4 or 5 is of each grader. So you and me have to the same estimation.</p>

9

<p>You said that you DOUBT the collegeboard will give him a 4 or a 5. </p>

<p>I said he WILL get a 4 or a 5. We gave opposite opinions, not the same opinions.</p>

<p>Collegeboard essay grading is not an arbitrary or unpredictable process. I think most people can train themselves to consistently write essays that will score 10-11. There may be wiggle room of a point, or at most two points.</p>

<p>As I said, I am ambivalent. There are two fundamental approaches to an essay: Inductive method and Deductive Method. The second is harder, but if you are successful, you shall earn remarkable grade without having much to do with examples.</p>

<p>BTW, I said we have the same ESTIMATION, not OPINION. Opinion is unimportant, result is more than anything else.</p>
