Question about the SAT essay

<p>How many examples should I have?
From my Princeton SAT prep class, the teacher told us that two examples will suffice.
But then online articles suggest 3 examples..</p>

<p>I really hate the SAT essay because you need specific examples from books, history, etc.
I know I have a lot of examples to use, but it's so hard for me to think of them!</p>

<p>It’s not so much quantity as quality. I’ve seen excellent essays use anything from one to three examples. Just make sure you elaborate on it well.</p>

<p>i second charlotte420. if your examples are good enough, they wont look at how many you have given.</p>
