SAT I essay section

<p>I am writing the December SAT, and I have a question about the essay section. If I used personal experience as my examples for all three of my supporting arguments, would I get a poor mark? Do I have to have examples from history/literature/science to back up my points?</p>

<p>I think you would get lower marks for using only personal examples. A girl I know used only personal examples and got like an 8. I think its always better to draw from a wide variety of examples.</p>

<p>coolness_rookie.. even i think it would be better if u cud use a variety of examples from fields like history,literature,science n tech..
somebody told me that if possible to complete avoid personal examples</p>
