The SAT EssayWriting an Effective Conclusion!
The Last Impression!
Even though you may be in a time crunch toward the end (once you hit your writing stride), be sure to leave a strong last impression!
Begin with a good TRANSITION Don’t just “restate” the thesis – sum up your
main points quickly Don’t use trite phrases like “in conclusion,”
“to sum up,” “as you can see” . . .
FINISH your thoughts
A good way to finish strong is to give the reader something to think about …
Be sure to answer the “so what” question – why is what you wrote about important or meaningful?
SYNTHESIZE your thoughts – don’t just your thesis or main points – tie them together
Make it bigger . . .
3-4 sentences – leave yourself a couple of
minutesTo complete your essay and leave the grader with a solid last impression!
