<p>i didn't get to finish that thing!
i planned 4 paragraphs
and i only have time to do 3!!!!
do you guys know how many points they take off for that?
well i can't say my essay is perfect but it's pretty decent just that it's missing a conclusion ...</p>
<p>LOL I did the same EXACT thing! I don't know what happened, I'm usually good with timing. </p>
<p>This sucks.</p>
<p>same here, i only got in my intro, first body paragraph(all most a page long) and half way through the second one. I filled up almost the entire thing though, but i ran out of time. who knows, last time i took it,i had all 5 paragraphs and i thought my essay was really good and i only got a 9, while others who didn't even have a conclusion got 10's and stuff.</p>
<p>but i'm different
everybody here is smart
but i totally screwed my psat
now since i didnt finish my conclusion i felt like crying</p>
<p>What was the essay topic?</p>
<p>four paragraphs exactly. i hope for a 12.</p>
<p>I ran out of time and didnt finish half of my second body paragraph and no conclusion. I wish they would tell us how they grade that. 3 other examples though, 1 personal, 1 literary and 1 from psych</p>
<p>it's the past and future thing</p>
<p>when i took it in march, i tried to write 4 paragraphs but ran out of time, so this time i just planned out three really good paragraphs that took up both pages. i figured it was better to have a more complete essay with three paragraphs than an unfinished one.but i guess i'l know june 20th which was the better strategy :-p</p>
<p>I wrotw 4 paragraphs and 1.5 pages</p>
<p>I hope for a 10</p>
<p>if you got </p>
<p>intro</p>
<p>body</p>
<p>body</p>
<p>(i didn't even finish first sentence of the final para) I just put "it is fortunate that..."</p>
<p>will that reduce my score by alot?</p>
<p>I got the media one, planned 4 paragraphs, 2 examples (a survey I heard on TV (ironic?) and reeses pieces in the movie E.T.), I got the candy wrong though, hopefully the teacher who grades my essay doesn't know.</p>
<p>For timing I did better than I thought, actually had a minute at the end to check it over... Though, I didn't fill up all the space... SAT essay spaces are so much bigger than the princeton review ones.</p>
<p>Did anyone get the essay about practical skills?</p>
<p>me</p>
<p>i wrote bout sat prep books...lawl</p>
<p>I got practical skills and totally messed it up (bad examples).</p>
<p>I got the practical skills one too.</p>
<p>w/o a conclusion you can still get 10...</p>
<p>i got the media one too!</p>
<p>hey does anyone know how important handwriting is in the essay? I'm not talking about illegible writing, but the difference between having an average and having an excellent handwriting...</p>
<p>Yeah I had an intro and two well-developed (I think) body paragraphs, but only got out the first half-sentence of my conclusion. I'm hoping for the best. I filled all but a couple lines and my writing's fairly small.</p>
<p>My teacher advcied me to go back onto the essay but apparently u cant in the new sat</p>
