<p>Those of you CCer that scored between a 10 or higher on your SAT essay, would you guys mind telling me and many other CCer examples that you think a person could you on any SAT essay prompt. The reason I am asking this is because the SAT essay prompt is very vague. I want to know a book or example from history that could support ANY SAT essay prompt. I will really apreciate it if you could give it in the following format.</p>
<p>Book Name-
Author-</p>
<h2>How this example from the book could be used to support any SAT Essay Prompt-</h2>
<p>History:Name of the event or a specific time period-
Name of important people or things invoved-
How this example from history could be used to support any SAT Essay Prompt-</p>
<p>there is a reason that the essay prompt is very vague, is so that you can write about pretty much whatever you want and in doing so use whatever examples you want. i dont condone using a forum to help you formulate what you will write for your SAT essay, and you definitely shouldn't be asking how to each example will support your essay, you need to figure that out while you are writing the essay so that it will relate to your thesis. anyway i scored an 11 and used Lord of the Flies and Abraham Lincoln</p>
<p>One book I have used many times as an example is Fahrenheit 451 by Ray Bradbury. It's comments are similar to 1984 (futuristic control-obsessed society), and has a lot more little opinions and arguments in it.</p>
<p>Gandhi
MLK
civil rights
racism
The Holocaust
WWII
Hitler
Catcher in the Rye</p>
<p>sorry I couldn't be bothered to use the format you've provided. But these are generally examples that I feel can apply to a variety of situations/prompts. Many of my friends have also come out with 10's,11's and 12's by making up books on the spot. I can't really judge whether that's ethical or not, but it's a suggestion.</p>
<p>well i went into both essay's (12, then 11) deciding that no matter the topic I would use Huck Finn and Catcher in the Rye... my first example woudl be whichever one fit the topic better. I realized the second example wouldn't nearly be as important. They both worked well.</p>
<p>Book Name- The Great Gatsby
Author- F. Scott Fitzgerald
How this example from the book could be used to support any SAT Essay Prompt- The themes covered in this book are almost universal: the American dream, appearances vs. reality, greed, infidelity, conformity, love, etc.</p>
<h2>I have used Gatsby for everything from SAT essays to college essays. And I know tons of people who've also used this very book.</h2>
<p>History:Name of the event or a specific time period- Civil Rights Movement
Name of important people or things invoved- MLK, LBJ, RFK (wow, all initials!)
How this example from history could be used to support any SAT Essay Prompt- um, I really can't say...it just works or it doesn't</p>
<p>If you've taken or are taking an advanced course and have read all texts or atleast understand the main idea you'll be fine.... quotes literature in other languages is a plus.</p>
<p>If you've taken world history its also a plus...</p>
<p>If you want a high score use results that are as relevant as possible.. being vague is a nono for the most part because the goal of the essay is to be persuasive. With a wide knowledge relevant subjects will literally pop up in your mind.</p>
<p>No, I only used personal examples. It's easiest for people to talk about themselves. Or you could make something up if you got really desperate, not that I condone that or anything haha.</p>
<p>I used one example only and it was from a current (not well known) event. I could have just as easily have amde it up. I didn't finish. Got a 10. I don't think this is relevant. Sorry.</p>
