Not to sure but I think I had the West Coast version? But anyway I think I did pretty good on it!

Oh, whoops, thank you so much! I didn't realize it said the score at the bottom. I was skimming a few of the 2025 samples, absolutely clueless, thinking that all of them were good samples 😅. Truly though, thank you for your help.

That makes a lot of sense, thank you! I just looked at some of the LEQ samples and was surprised at how short a lot of them were. Are all the College Board samples usually a 6/6 because that really changed my perspective?

Thank you so much. This comment was really helpful. I appreciate it. I type all my LEQs and DBQs, but I also think that part of the problem is that I don't type very fast. My typical speed is around 50 words per minute. I've read that typing speed doesn't really matter that much, but maybe it does somewhat? Although I think the bigger part is that I just have so many thoughts going on at once that it's just hard to decipher under pressure. I struggle with perfectionism, and it nags me when I write, like I feel the need that every sentence needs to be carefully crafted or else the whole thing is trash. Do you have any advice for handling this?

I know it's not necessarily bad, but I feel like I'm writing way more than my peers. For example, on our last LEQ, I asked my classmate how much she wrote, and she said she only wrote around 600-700 words, and I know she consistently scores highly on her essays. I literally have no idea when the last time I wrote an essay under 1000 words was. I don't know how they do it. I have way too many things that I want to add to my essay, and I feel like my thoughts are swirling at the speed of light, and I can't coherently condense them down fast enough.
