I apologize if this has been asked many times before...
...but I'm not so good with timed essays. My mind completely blanks after reading the statement and it's difficult for me to come up with specific examples for the Thesis and Antithesis. History is not my subject. I never took any history in college and I took the bare minimum History in high school. I remember the big events of course (i.e. Civil War, WWII, etc etc), but not much specifics (i.e. dates and names). Does anyone have any suggestions where I can brush up on my history/current events? Or know any good sources for writing section examples?
Also, TPR says never to use hypothetical examples, but I've been reading on the sdn threads that hypothetical examples are accepted in the MCAT. How badly would the use of hypothetical examples affect the writing score?
Thank you in advance for any advice!
