<p>The prompt was along the lines of: Are people as they seem on first glance? (You don't have to find like grammatical errors and such, just in general what would you give it. Thanks! God Bless!:))</p>
<pre><code>The most clich
</code></pre>
<p>It seems like every "rate my SAT essay" holds a generic intro-body-body-body-conclusionb essay. Every essay includes a personal experience, historical reference, and literary character. yawn</p>
<p>I read the first para and I'd give it an 8/9. Using "corny" isn't really a good idea.</p>
<p>Actually, I think the essay is worth a 10-12. I'd lean towards 10 as you didn't delve very deeply into yuor examples. Frankestein's monster wasn't violent, no, but he didn't "want to be hugged" ,so to speak, either. </p>
<p>to above poster, really, you can't grade someone's essay by just reading the first paragraph an then giving it an 8/9 because of one word. honestly.</p>
<p>Ditto what Sagara said.</p>
<p>Do spelling errors and such count on the sat</p>
<p>in a word, yes.</p>
<p>I hope not. The irony is that I'm like a good speller (UIL), yet when I'm in a fluster and hurry, I just write QUICKLY. I wasn't going to use corny to be honest, but I didn't one to just put one adjective (for some reason, I'm weird like that), and I didn't want to use cliche again (I could've used overused). I seriously wrote the personal experience in like 3 minutes, I thought yall' would hate that paragraph (I made that experience up). I felt really pressed for time. I usually can think of examples faster. The history one got me.</p>
<p>It it were my personal opinion, I'd give it a 9. I think an SAT reader would give it an 11.</p>
<p>Also, take out "was amalgamated"; you already implied that with your previous statement.</p>
<p>Yay!!! I'm seriously suprised this was rated so high! Thanks all! (It's weird...I usually think of a word, like amalgamated....and force myself to write a sentence around it.)</p>
<p>The middle two paragraphs kinda of sounds like a movie/book review, but I still think it's pretty good. What score were you expecting?</p>
<p>Around a 9 or 10.</p>
<p>My friends think its an 8.</p>
<p>I'd give it a 10. You gave a deep analysis on the first example, but your third example was a bit short. Overall, it's pretty good.</p>
<p>I had to quickly write the last 2 paragraphs (I spent too much time on the third paragraph thinking; too much time writing the first one). I also made up the experience. :)</p>
<p>First impressions count a lot on the SAT; the people grading this only have a few minutes. They aren't going to be able to analyze all the positives and negatives like a teacher would. They'll probably just grade you on what sticks out...</p>
<p>9-10 based on word count. Seriously, if you write a 400-450 word essay, they'll give you a "12." That's how I got a 12, and my essays were total bs.</p>
<ol>
<li>There are some flow/grammar inconsistincies.</li>
</ol>
<p>So is the consensus a 10?</p>
<p>Careful, you did not transition into Napoleon well. You ahould put "Futhermore" to have a smoother change. Yeah, one example was in depth and two were quickies. How much did this essay fill up the SAT two pages? One page? Two pages? A page an a half?</p>
