<p>I did not pace myself properly and ran out of time. I wrote a good introduction, two well written body paragraphs, one was about a real life person and one involving a novel. At the end of the 3rd paragraph (2nd body) , I quickly wrote a decently transitioned conclusion sentence which summed everything. I didn't have time to squeeze in more than one sentence so I did not make a 4th paragraph for the conclusion, instead I fit it in the end of my last body. The essay ended up being exactly 1 and 1/2 pages maybe a little more. Do you think this will extremely jeopordize my score? Any educated insight or guesses about what the range will be since I only wrote 3 paragaphs?</p>
<p>I’m in the same boat as you, but I wrote a bit more then you but didnt finish my second body, nor a conclusion to wrap it up. My assumption is you will be fine 8-10 as long as the rest of the essay was solid and since you did get that concluding idea in, but I’m worried for myself since I did not wrap it up and get that concluding idea in. </p>
<p>I posted a thread too that explains my situation fully, but do you mind telling me what you think of my situation?</p>
<p>Tht happened to me on the March Sats and I still got a decent 9. If you wrote those paragraphs well then it should be fine.
They grade you based on what you’ve written.</p>
<p>is that true? they wont take off if you didnt finish your second BP, but as long as it is quality, you could still get up to a 12?</p>
<p>I don’t think you’d get a 12 if you didn’t finish honestly, unless what you wrote was immaculate. Having only 3 paragraphs and no conclusion seems a little abrupt and inconclusive enough to be a 12. Could get an 11 or 10 though.</p>
