Lesson Comments
Katherine is an incredibly talented writer who would like to study journalism in college. She has the ability to receive a perfect score on the essay portion of the SAT after practicing writing within the time limit.
She felt that the essay that she wrote on the practice SAT (taken on Saturday) was not as good as the one that she wrote in class because she was not sure how much time was left and rushed it.
