You should, therefore, take care to develop your point of view, present your ideas logically and clearly, and use language precisely.  \nYour essay must be written on the lines provided on your answer sheet—you will receive no other paper on which to write. You will have enough space if you write on every line, avoid wide margins, and keep your handwriting to a reasonable size. Remember that people who are not familiar with your handwriting will read what you write. Try to write or print so that what you are writing is legible to those readers.  \nImportant Reminders:  \n• A pencil is required for the essay. An essay written in ink will receive a score of zero.  \n• Do not write your essay in your test book. You will receive credit only for what you write on your answer sheet.  \n• An off-topic essay will receive a score of zero.  \n• If your essay does not reflect your original and individual work, your scores for the entire test may be canceled.  \n• An electronic copy of your essay will be made available to each of your designated score recipients: colleges, universities, and scholarship programs.  \nYou have twenty-five minutes to write an essay on the topic assigned below.  \nThink carefully about the issue presented in the following excerpt and the assignment below.  \nNowadays nothing is private: our culture has become too confessional and self-expressive. People think that to hide one’s thoughts or feelings is to pretend not to have those thoughts or feelings. They assume that honesty requires one to express every inclination and impulse.  \nAdapted from J. David Velleman,“The Genesis of Shame”  \nAssignment: Should people make more of an effort to keep some things private? Plan and write an essay in which you develop your point of view on this issue. Support your position with reasoning and examples taken from your reading, studies, experience, or observations.  \nBEGIN WRITING YOUR ESSAY ON PAGE 2 OF THE ANSWER SHEET.  \nIf you finish before time is called, you may check your work on this section only.  \nDo not turn to any other section in the test.  \nSECTION 2  \nTime— 25 minutes 20 Questions  \nTurn to Section 2 (page 4) of your answer sheet to answer the questions in this section.  \nDirections: For this section, solve each problem and decide which is the best ofthe choices given. Fill in the corresponding circle on the answer sheet. You may use any available space for scratch work.  \n1. If 10 + x is 5 more than 10, what is the value of 2x ?  \n(A) −5 (B) 5  \n(C) 10  \n(D) 25  \n(E) 50  \n2. The result when a number is divided by 2 is equal to the result when that same number is divided by 4. What is that number?  \n(A) -4  \n(B) -2 (C) 0 (D) 2 (E) 4","cbCainjgRKDWX4Vh","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCainjgRKDWX4Vh","pdf",5105379,46,"English","# Essay Time—25 minutes\n## Assignment and reminders\n# SECTION 2\n## Time—25 minutes, 20 Questions\n## Directions\n## Sample problems","[{\"question\":\"How long is the SAT essay section, and where must the essay be written?\",\"answer\":\"The essay section is 25 minutes.
