Why do they always hate my essays?

<p>I’ve gotten an 11 both times I took the SAT I. It’s not hard, and what they want to see is this:</p>

<p>Intro, example from literature, example from real-life, personal example, conclusion.</p>

<p>Follow that formula, elaborate a bit, throw in a few very verbally pleasing flowery phrases, and there you have it.</p>

<p>Oh, and it’s always good to make a profound statement at the end.</p>

<p>I can type up some of my essays for you too, if you wanna see them.</p>
