<p>I got an 11 on my essay. Honestly, I think the reason was because of a stupid mistake. At length I will explain…</p>
<p>I’m not sure of the exact wording of the question but the main idea of the topic was whether or not there is value in avoiding the use of technology.</p>
<p>The reason I think I got an 11 was 3 things…
- My first example was a bit wordy. My intro and first reason paragraph took up more than the first page. As a result the 2nd and 3rd reasons got shortchanged a little as far as explanations go
- I accidentally messed up the title of a book I referred to in my second example. I am truly an idiot because it is a famous book and it is the first time I have ever made that mistake. As I was driving home that day it suddenly occurred to me and i kicked myself for it. Apparently that doesn’t count but if I was a reader I would think a kid was stupid for messing up a famous title
- And I don’t know if this matters but when they called time I was mid-sentence in my conclusion and left it completely hanging, without a period or anything. Therefore my conclusion is only 1.5 sentences long.</p>
<p>Looking back on it I don’t think it’s a wonderful essay but I did only have 25 minutes? I don’t even remember. I didn’t take prep classes or anything but I did hear some place that you should fill the whole thing. Even if I had had time to finish my conclusion it could only have been 2 sentences anyways because I took it to the bottom of the page minus one line. My handwriting is small but I can write neatly very quickly</p>
<p>So that’s why I got the 11 on the essay. Where did you find stats about essay scores? I would be curious to know because I’ve never shared my sat scores with people I know but I’m secretly pretty arrogant about them. At least I can admit it.</p>
