In your preparations for college, you may find yourself facing a handful of high-stakes
essays. Your college application requires at least one, and the SAT requires another.
Depending upon the high school you attend, or the state you reside in, you may need
to write an exit essay, or take the Regents Exam. This book includes specific strategies to
help you write great essays, no matter which type you write.
In contrast to basic writing guides that contain plenty of information you don’t need,
How to Write Great Essays focuses on the topics most important to you now.You won’t find
a comprehensive guide to mechanics, but instead you will get short but thorough lessons
on the most common errors made in grammar, spelling, usage, and how to prevent and cor-
rect these errors. Every chapter is designed to relate directly to your essay, giving you the
knowledge and the know-how you need to succeed.
