<p>Grr. I wrote non-stop for those twenty-five minutes and filled up 1 1/4-ish pages with a 4-paragraph essay of what I thought were two solid, well-supported examples, and I got a 9. I figured that it was just because in my hurry I wrote in what was a pretty bland, elementary style, but after reading a lot about the length-score correlation, I don’t know WHAT I did wrong! Pshhh… whatever. I’m not wasting six hours of my life to possibly get those ten points (I got an 80 on the MC.) I just hope that colleges don’t think that I suck at writing; ideally, they’ll just realize that my essay wasn’t what the graders were looking for.</p>

<p>Haha… best typo ever. “Hello SAT graders! :-)”</p>
