The SAT Essay

Test Preparation
1

<p>Does anyone know the secret to scoring well on the SAT essay? I consistently received 9 out of 9 on nearly all my timed writings in AP English and scored a 5 on the exam. I would consider myself a pretty good writer, but I just can't seem to crack the formula for a high essay score (8 on first essay, 9 on second). I realize that College Board is looking for a different type of essay, but if someone could summarize some key points I would appreciate it greatly. Thanks!</p>

<p>Look for a thread, “how to write a 12 essay in 10 minutes,” or something like that. Some great pointers in there.</p>

<p>It’s important to realize that a good SAT essay is vastly different from what would be called a good essay in English class.</p>
