<p>Okay i know youre supposed to have alot of topics you can write about. Soo, please add to this.</p>
<p>Great Gatsby (lying is justified, appearance is deceiving)
Constitutional Convention - 3/5ths compromise, representation (teamwork vs individual effort)</p>
<p>The two examples that can be applied to ANY essay topic (no joke)</p>
<p>American Revolution and Huckleberry Finn</p>
<p>Honestly, there's more to life than studying a hundred different topics JUST so that you can get a good SAT essay score. The fact that luck in receiving a topic you've thought about or enjoy thinking about can give a significant advantage is one reason I have a hard time trusting SAT essay scores very much.</p>
<p>But for what it's worth...</p>
<p>Scientific fraud (Hendrik Schon, Dr. Hwang Woo-suk and others) - motives, reasons & methods for preventing it, etc.</p>
<p>your life.</p>
<p>personal experience > *.</p>
<p>This is how I prepared my essay: i practised 8 essays in total, most of them are from the Official Guide, and from what i know, the topics for the Nov. and Oct. tests are all trite topics from the old ones-they just changed the coat of it. </p>
<p>I took Nov. test, the essay topic was one of what i wrote, actually the Oct. topic too.</p>
<p>my friend used gatsby and const. convention for may 2006.</p>
<p>what was that prompt?</p>
<p>lord of the flies for anything.</p>
<p>i also used great gatsby for may 06</p>
<p>bumping cause I need more topics...</p>
<p>Like someone said before, personal experiences (or other peoples personal experiences - HAHA). I was reading essays that got 12's from some study guides and I internalized the jist of the story and the following day during the test I tried to mimic it as much as possible because the essays prompts were very similar. Although I used different history/scientific and political examples the personal experience was almost the same because it fit very well in the context of the prompt.</p>
<p>CHEATING? haha I don't know, maybe so.</p>
<p>If you are bored, read about US Pres. I used three and got a 11 on the Dec essay. it's so easy to tie historical events and famous people to any topic.</p>
<p>I used to think that you needed to cram history and literature to get a good score...but as it turns out, a vast number of perfect 12 essays are in fact narratives. So just rely on what you know and have experienced. In fact, that will write itself. You just need to pick one narrative to write about. The SAT Essay can be approached in any way: narration, persuasion, argumentation, or exposition. I personally think that the narrative is the easiest. Give it a try.</p>
