Everytime I take the SAT… I receive an 8 on my essay. I really want to boost my score. Please share your tips on how to increase my score! It is really important to me! Thanks!
-Filling up the entire 2 pages
-Clear organization
-Elevated language
-details and example (you can make these up!)
- Intro: 2 sentences. 1st sentence should state your point. 2nd sentence should mention two examples you will use to prove your point. This is your thesis.
- 1st example: can be anything. Make sure everything you write is a supporting argument for your thesis. Expand on your example but always relate it back to thesis.
- 2nd example: same
Use big words. Check grammar and verb agreement. Only write a conclusion if you have time, it’s not mandatory. If you write a conclusion, make it 2 solid complex sentences.
it’s also recommended to have two “all-use” examples. This means that these examples (preferrably historical events, people, books, discoveries, etc.) have implications that stretch over a lot of topics (come on, if you’ve taken at least 1 real sat, you’d know that CB only asks a certain type of question for their essays) and can therefore be used anywhere on any topic. My two examples are usually Flowers for Algernon and Marie Curie.
