<p>Well after reading PR and how they said people should do their essays, they said the standard 5 paragraph, three example essay to get the best possible score but when I look at collegeboard.com essays that they said got a 6, they mainly have 1 example? Which one should I focus on more? Write three examples that have somewhat decent detail or focus on 1 main example?</p>
<p>I would go with the middle, 2 moderately detailed filled paragraphs.</p>
<p>Oh okay will do if I don't have enough time. I was wandering, how big does the conclusion play in the essay grading?</p>
<p>its really important, without a conclusion, you essay drops a point or two.</p>
<p>Okay ya that is what I thought because on the last test I took with PR, I didn't realize time and forgot a conclusion, well my usual score went down a lot.</p>
<p>People have received 10-12 with very bare conclusions...my own conclusions max out at 3 sentences, most of them usually less, and I got 11/12 on the essays I've written on the SAT. </p>
<p>Length of essay is much more important than length of conclusion. I found it easier to do 3 body paragraphs to do that. If you can fill up the 2 pages and you write fairly decently, you should be guaranteed a score above 10 automatically.</p>
