<p>First, this is my 1st essay where i tried to squeeze in three example so it was rushed. I used the entire 25 minutes from start to end. </p>
<p>There is a huge amount of mistakes </p>
<p>I also have many questions
1) Is it better to vary your example like one from history, one from literature, and one for current events or does it not make a difference as long as the example are conveyed properly
2)How much does vocabulary count, like i know my vocabulary in essays is inconsistent and I am trying to improve
3) two example or three
4) Whats the best way to prep for the writing mc because I did horribly on that, right now
I'm using a barrons book and i take the time to understand what is being told to me I even take notes but i have trouble recognizing the problem in the questions. Usually i will know if the pronoun is wrong simple stuff like that but I'm looking for a way to practice questions without having to take a full test, is there a book that focuses just on grammar and familiarizes me with the SAT questions. </p>
<p>This prompt came from the 07-08 booklet </p>
<p>Think carefully about the issue presented in the following excerpt and the assignment below.</p>
<p>Given the importance of human creativity, one would think it should have a high priority among our concerns. But if we look at the reality, we see a different picture. Basic scientific research is minimized in favor of immediate practical applications. The arts are increasingly seen as dispensable luxuries. Yet as competition heats up around the globe, exactly the opposite strategy is needed.</p>

<p>Assignment: Is creativity needed more than ever in the world today? Plan and write an essay in which you develop your point of view on this issue. Support your position with reasoning and examples taken from your reading, studies, experience, or observations.</p>
<pre><code> In a world where many choose to implement practicality over creativity, creativity is needed more than ever, so we may pave a way for the next generation. Without creativity, the world would remain insipid causing ingenuity not to prosper. However, with creativity companies such as Apple, Google, and Microsoft have reformed the world to be more efficient and productive rather than going for immediate practical gain.
To begin, Apple Saw the stagnant phone market and chose to chose to revolutionize it with the iPhone. It could have followed the trend to make the same phone and sold it under their brand to reap profits. However, Apple took the hard road of taking the time to develop a quality product. Its effort to make its creative product a reality caused it to innovate the cell phone marker while at the same time make the best selling phone on the market.
To go on, Google reinvented the search engine protocol by giving the users results other users chose instead of giving relevant results according to the inputted words. Its clever idea allowed it to dominate the search engine market by giving proficient results time after time to users. Its creativity gained the loyalty of its users, thus showing that creativity is needed to reform modern ideology.
Furthermore, Microsoft was able to solve many hassles of typewriter by creating an exceptional word processing application for computers. Its new way to type allowed many to correct errors instead of spending time tediously rewriting the paper. This new application allowed Microsoft Word to be the best word processor for twenty years. Thus, showing how creativity is more needed in the world to avoid wasting time.
To sum, many would like to apply what they know to seek immediate gain. However, the only way the modern world to move forward is by taking the time to let its creative ideas flourish.
