SAT Essay Analysis

SATs... Where to begin.
After taking the first practice essay in class, I've now come to the conclusion that my vocabulary needs to be taken to the next level. After hearing some of the other people's essay, some of the vocabulary was very sophisticated and yet it still flowed and sounded like it made sense. I think that lexicons definitely help. I'll admit it... I have a lexicon... BUT! It helps a lot with learning new words. It might seem dorky or lame but whatever, I'll be doing better on the SATs than you... Anyway, I think that vocabulary is pretty crucial to right a good essay.
I think that the best way to prepare yourself for this essay is to live life. The questions asked are usually connected with things going on in your life or with life learning experiences. Like one practice essay we had last semester asked something about knowledge burdens people. And if you have experienced it or dealt with something like it, its easier to see things not only from your perspective and opinion but of others that were also apart of that experience. S you basically can pretty much get a 360 degree view on the issue.
