DS wants to practice SAT essay writing this summer. :D I know this topic has been discussed before but I can't find it. Wasn't there a website someone found with SAT writing prompts? How might I come up with ideas for writing prompts? Any other sources?

If our efforts fail (or DS dislikes the assistance I provide, me not being a writing teacher :lol:) are there online services we could seek other than PA HS'ers?

Thank you!

If you scroll way down near the bottom you can find what prompts were used on recent tests!

Bravewriter offers an SAT/ACT essay writing class.

I have liked the format and feedback of their classes and found them very helpful w/my dds -- although we haven't used this one.

Our experience is with Kidswrite Intermediate and Expository Essay.
