The Essay

The essay measures your ability to:

  • Develop a point of view on an issue presented in an excerpt
  • Support your point of view using reasoning and examples from your reading, studies, experience, or observations
  • Follow the conventions of standard written English

The essay will be scored by trained high school and college teachers. Each reader will give the essay a score from 1 to 6 (6 is the highest score) based on the overall quality of the essay and your demonstration of writing competence.

Assignment: Do memories hinder or help people in their effort to learn from the past and succeed in the present? Plan and write an essay in which you develop your point of view on this issue. Support your position with reasoning and examples taken from your reading, studies, experience, or observations.
