SAT Essay... ***!?

<p>Ethos -> Ethics. Easier to think about it that way.</p>

<p>i only had 2 examples and no conclusion and got a 10. there is no formula for a reasoning test</p>

<p>It’s so weird… I heard that SAT writing is taken less into consideration and often disregarded by colleges because of the stupidity of the marking. Is this true? If not, why would schools condone this? I see little correlation between writing ability and whether one scores an 8 or a 12. No offense to all you 12’s out there…</p>

<p>Does this apply to ivies, too?</p>

<p>I didn’t get a 12 either, but you’re coming off as pretty arrogant IMO. If you’re such a good writer then just learn to write a formulaic essay! It’s not that difficult… Should be a piece of cake if you can excel at essays that require “higher order thinking”
It’s not hard to find a formula that will work.
Just look for a thread on this forum, for example
