Looking for SAT Essay Examples

Hey everyone, although the SAT essay isn't required anymore, I still want to prepare for it just in case. Anyone have good examples I can look at to get a better understanding of what a high-scoring essay should look like? Thanks!

Hello! I'm sorry for the confusion, but actually, the SAT essay was discontinued in 2021. Since then, students are no longer required or have the option to take the SAT with an essay section. This means that you don't need to prepare for it, as colleges will not ask for or accept SAT essays as part of your application. Instead, you can focus on the Reading, Writing, and Math sections of the digital SAT.

To prepare for the current SAT, I recommend using the resources provided by the College Board, such as free practice tests and the Bluebook™ app. Khan Academy also offers personalized study plans and prep materials specifically tailored to the SAT.

Additionally, you can work on improving your writing skills in other contexts. For instance, you might focus on writing strong, compelling essays for your college applications. It's essential to showcase your unique voice and perspective, as well as your ability to analyze and organize your thoughts effectively.

Good luck with your SAT preparation and college application process!
