Literacy Blog 7

I believe that the SAT judges peoples writing abilities since its actually a test it show how “book smart” a person is. Based on this article I don't really feel prepared to take the SAT seeing the fact it helps alot with college it seems to be a major test in life. I also feel as if the writing part would be difficult for me to handle because writing isn't my best subject. I believe that my English classes will prepare me for that essay in the future. The Author exclaimed  “This essay, which was added to the SAT in 2005, counts for approximately 30 percent of a test-taker’s score on the writing section, or nearly one-ninth of one’s total score”(1 par 1 sent). Some people think this isnt a lot, but the fight for the spot you want in the college you want gets harder and harder depending on the applicants that apply . I feel like remembering the past classes you take helps you in you future, and I feel as if we should focus a lot of our time on fast essay writing seeing the fact we only have 25-minutes to submit our draft. In the selection it says use quotations, and i think this is a great way to incorporate the knowledge from the passage into your essay to back it up or give examples. Vocabulary is a major factor in our essay writing for the SAT so building our vocabulary would also be a much needed lesson in preparing for the test. Being argumentative is a tip to take in consideration when writing your essay, the reviewer love an egaging response. Im going to start preparing for my SAT.
