SAT Essay Analysis

I would say that i am dreading taking the SAT, but that would be a giant understatement. Ever since I've known of it's very existqnce I have found it terrifying. And worst of all, the newly introduces SAT essay. When we first started to practice the essays in class last semester I was told that the point of this essay is to prove you have a voice and that you are able to convincingly argue and support a point of view. From doing a couple practice essays like this, and from reading those of others I have compiled a brief list of pointers to follow and work on when dealing with the SAT essay.
-Have a voice; upon realing the graders of this essay will have seen tons of essays already it is important to make them interested and want to read on, because this is part of the SAT is really the only way they can get a sense of your personality and who you really are.
-A good angle on the answer of the question; I was told before that it is best to choose either yes or no to the question so as not to make it seem like your wishy washy and can't clearly support a point. However, now I have learned that the best way is to come up with a point that clearly explains why it is yes and no bcause in life nothing is ever black and white, there is always a grey area. This part of the exam exemplifies this because it's not like a scantron where theres right or worong they want to see your views on right and wrong.
-EXAMPLES; examples are the only way to convincingly support your point besides "because I said so," they are also a good way to show off your worldly-ness and flaunt your knowledge of things going on in the world.
-Vocabulary; besides the english section of the test vocabulary is a great way to earn points here to. Showing off your correct usage of sophisticated words can only benefit you in the long run and grading of the essay. This is a skill that I definetly should invest in improving and I'm sure many other people can relate.
- Flow; If you don't got it fake it, making your essay flow and transition well from paragraph to paragraph will leave the readers with the idea that you had the essay under control even if you struggled a little in other areas. It's kind of like the after taste.
