SAT essay's?

Question

has anyone taken the SAT? What kind of Essay prompt did you have?

Answer 1

i've taken the real one once...and practiced at least for 8 other essays...but all the prompts would have something to do with morals or choices...really

my prompt was like, is it better to keep a secret? or to let it out?

that is both a moral and choice prompt

another prompt i had was is it better to let go of your past and look forward? or is it better to integrate the past into the present?

anohter one was: is it money, fame and power that drives a person's motivation for success? or is it the simple thing in life?

basically any prompt would have similar themes...and are very broad...so i suggest you use some literature examples...like Macbeth...the great gatsby...etc...use classic literature...not harry potter or anything like that...i also suggest the following:

i assume the importance/impression of evidence goes by this...

1) literature

2) history

3) current events

4) personal experience

now im not saying 3 or 4 are bad choices to use as evidence...but using 1 and 2 would give a good impression as an "intelligent lifeform" and would PROBABLY give u a higher score...assuming you use them effectively in your argument.

anyway good luck on your SAT's...I'm having mine tomorrow! XD
