Chalk Talk: Mastering the SAT Essay
Some students look at the essay section on the SAT with dread. Here are some general ideas to help them relax. First, when it comes to the essay question, the handwriting should be legible. The graders need to be able to work through each essay as quickly as possible and if they have to struggle with handwriting, they begin with a bad impression so the score may be lower. In the essay, in this case, the graders look favorably at the student that fills up the majority of the lines allowed without going beyond that area. Next, remember the basic structure of good writing. There should be an introduction with a thesis, three supporting paragraphs and then a conclusion that summarizes what was said. Students need to remember to indent each paragraph also. This is also the place to use a few larger word throughout the writing. Finally, practice writing at home to become more comfortable with the process.
