<p>I’m from SE Asia and had the differentiating yourself from competition prompt as well - I wrote about Maria Callas and Jane Eyre - weird combination lol, come to think of it xD</p>
<p>Aww dude I don’t mean to nag but US students have a huge advantage on their own. You guys know all the great works of lit. like The Iliad, 1984, Jane Eyre, etc.
Aside from The Iliad, I only know those by name. Plus, I’ve never remotely covered World History in any form so I know next to nothing about Ghandi and MLK and those gents. Maybe I should brush up before the next essay…
(By the way, yes I know I should’ve read them myself and stuff even though it wasn’t schoolwork but I’ve heard that 1984 sucks - from my sister - and The Iliad is incomprehensible so I just watched the film - and I still know nothing about JE. Or MLK. Or Ghandi. With the exception of their most popular goals - I Have a Dream, etc.)
Still, got a 10. Can’t help but imagine if I’d known those examples… would I have gotten a 12?</p>
<p>true that. Last three essays on SAT at least one history example. Lets hope that AP US knowledge helps for the AP test on friday. =/</p>
