Can talk about the 14 year old who did the entire study all by himself

Fun fact: A college student wrote a long essay, but they only wrote the first paragraph, after that, they started rambling about random stuff, about how dumb the teachers are for not seeing it, and even had multiple Loren ipsum paragraphs, and they still got an A.

For those who don’t know, the graders for collegeboard essays have less than a minute to grade a full essay

I feel so bad for those who were denied because of this. High schools always emphasize writing less and focusing more on detail and skill, but imagine how many students with potential got denied because they followed what their high schools told them..

They really are teaching us that the way to become good at communicating is to be as convoluted with the words and definitions to lengthen the word count, instead of making everything short but easy to understand

Sigh, good. Feel bad for those who were judged unfairly. Quality over quantity, but I guess the people grading them don't understand that...

I have always hated "fluffy" writing. When the text repeats itself or doesn't say anything for several sentences. So I don't write that way. It is one of the better reasons I tend to have short essays.

Based off of my SAT/ACT scores I should have struggled through college. I graduated top of my class. I knew other people who did poorly on the tests and still excelled in college. I knew some who did well on the tests and dropped out after being on academic probation. These tests really don’t show anything most of the time, so it really wouldn’t be a bad thing if they went away.

I took the SAT 4 times trying to get a higher score (I was an overachiever) and knew that the section I was lacking in was always the essay portion, but I could never earn those extra points to make it across the threshold for a top 1 percentile score, despite turning in what I thought were high quality essays. I prefer to write my essays concisely and struggled to make it to word minimums throughout high school. I got into college and the lecturers in my writing seminars said to just ignore the minimums if I felt that I had established my arguments sufficiently, and I never let that aspect of my writing bother me again. Glad to know that I was right about the bias towards longer essays. I had a classmate who earned a higher essay score than me and they padded out their essay with song lyrics 🙃.

In Spanish class in high school I had a teacher who always graded homework and assignments based on "is there sufficient writing in this page" but never actually read the writing on the page. I realized this when I got something clearly wrong and she didn't say or do anything about it. So then I wrote something like "if you read this I need help" in English. She said and did nothing different, just marked it 10/10 homework grade. Now that my suspicion was confirmed I just started writing movie spoilers on every blank, in English. I got a perfect homework score in that class.

I always feel stressed because, in essays, there's always a word/character limit that you have to/should pass. I barely never pass it, or if I do pass it, it's most likely just me rambling around trying to make sense by adding different viewpoints etc. Then my teacher says that it all doesn't add up together-

I remember writing the core essentials in a short but stacked essay once and my friend next to me wrote the same essay but made it much longer by Repeating the same things over and over in different ways. literally when you read it you would start to get annoyed by how much she repeated it. somehow, she got an A while I got a C-.

I remember talking to one of my classmates who got a higher score than me on the essay, and she proclaimed that she didn’t know why because half way through she just “gave up” and wrote about her day. My essay was long, but it also made sense for the topic. There was no reason that her substantially longer essay that 2 paragraphs in stopped making sense, should earn a higher score than anyone else.
