hey! I'm taking the SAT II writing in Oct, I guess the best way to study is to train writing 20 mintues essays. If you remember your essay topic, or have any advices, please post them!

Thank You!

I took the June 2003 exam; my prompt was "Style is more important than substance"

No, you have 20 minutes for the essay and 40 minutes for the multiple choice.

=) Kenilb, go get Barron's SATII Writing prep book; it's extremely helpful.

One hour split between essay and multiple choice. You could spend more than 20 min on essay if you do m/c fast enough.

oh.. just a sub-question... for the 20min writing part.. how long and detialed do they expect it to be?

Serene, so you could go back to your essay if you finish m/c before time is called?
This might sound stupid, but can you write your essay with a pencil?

By Soulofheaven8 (Soulofheaven8) on Friday, August 15, 2003 - 09:23 am: Edit

Yes, if you finish the m/c section early, you are allowed to go back to your essay.

You can write either in pen or pencil.(good question, I asked my proctor the same Q and he didn't know the answer to it)
