You won’t be able to anticipate the types of writing assigned on the SAT Writing test, but you can still work on the plan ahead for the exam. Along with the official practice prompts found on SAT.org, the internet is full of prompts for argumentative essays. The best way to prepare for the exam is to use those prompts to plan out essays.

You don’t have to write the essays. Instead, work on your planning abilities. Many students fail to do their best on the exam because they are not ready for the rigors of writing a long and complicated essay. The best tool you have, regardless of the topic or requirement, is the ability to outline a high-quality essay quickly.

The time spent drafting shouldn’t be more than 2 minutes, but the power of having a well thought out essay cannot be overstated. You should practice outlining on at least two essays a day for the five weeks leading up to your test. The act of planning will become second nature with practice, and that can make up for ignorance of a topic.

A good outline should look like this:

• Introductory paragraph
  • Thesis Statement: What you are going to prove, how will you prove it, why does it matter?
• Reason 1
  • Evidence: Anecdotal, Fictional example, Or Analytic
• Reason 2
  • Evidence: Anecdotal, Fictional example, Or Analytic
• Reason 3
  • Evidence: Anecdotal, Fictional example, Or Analytic
• Concluding paragraph
  • Call to action

You’ll notice that the outline follows the standard five paragraph format. If you find that you have extra time, you can expand each of the reasons into a series of paragraphs using multiple pieces of evidence, but the time pressure may make that too difficult to complete.

You should find two argumentative prompts per day, and work out an outline for each prompt. The prompt will not be complete without a short sentence that explains the focus of each paragraph. Instead of only writing “introductory paragraph” you would write a short sentence that explains what that section would cover.

Essay Task: Write a unified, coherent essay about the increasing presence of intelligent machines. In your essay, be sure to:

• clearly state your perspective on the issue and analyze the relationship between your perspective and at least one other perspective.
• develop and support your ideas with reasoning and examples.
• organize your ideas clearly and logically.
• communicate your ideas effectively in standard written English.

Your perspective may be in full agreement with any of those given, in partial agreement, or completely different.

The focus of this essay will be on the impact of the increasing presence of intelligent machines in society. A good outline would look something like this:
