<p>I would probably score the essay 4 or 5 out of 6 because it does effectively convey the prompt. The readers obviously know this shouldn’t be anywhere near a perfect essay, it’s just a test to see how well you can take information in a given amount of time and turn it into a decent rough draft. </p>
<p>So on the actually SAT, WRITE WRITE WRITE! I paused for like 10 minutes during my essay and I could not sum up my thoughts because I disrupted my constant flow of writing. Just keep on writing no matter what, pretend like your discussing a topic with a teacher. And because you’re a sophomore, and because you have plenty of time to improve, I would advise you to pay very close attention in your english and history classes! These classes will help you practice your writing and gain more insight on timed writing (most probably) :)</p>
