Editing note - the outline was wank, so I added to the headers. I left the additions in red for if you wish to delete them. I had to change number 5 completely because it is terrible advice.

6 Effective Tips to Perfect Last Minute Essay

To reiterate, this article explains how to write an essay very quickly without failing, these are not tips to help you create a perfect essay and/or a top scoring essay. This article assumes you have a very short deadline, and the advice within will help you turn in a passable essay by the deadline. It is often better to hand in a sub-par essay by the deadline rather than hand in a perfect essay late (especially since many colleges will dock points/marks for turning your essay in late).

1. Step Breath And Calm

Your word processor will show squiggly red lines under your mistyped words. Do not go back and correct them because it breaks your writing flow and such a stop/start process is not conducive to quick and effective writing. The spelling errors will still be there for you to correct later.

6. Own Your Essay - Try To Pick Holes In Your Own Work

Other people, especially your professor, are going to pick holes in your work. If you have rushed your essay, then it should have more holes than a sponge. With that being the case, you need to make a concerted effort to critically analyze your work and find faults with it so that you may tighten it up.

Most writers feel an emotional attachment to their work, even if the work is rushed. The emotional attachment makes the writer unable to see the fault in his or her own work. That is why professional writers use proofreading services. You need to take a step back and be as clinical and cold as you can.

Just because you rushed your essay doesn’t mean you cannot learn from the experience. Once you have gone through your essay and picked holes in it, ask yourself why you made the error and why you didn’t spot it

    The school had just gone off for winter break. I was excited to be free of homework for two weeks I thought to myself. As days past I would just relax by sleeping in more than I would usually and play video games with some friends and my cousins. Then Christmas came out of nowhere and I got to see relatives that I haven't seen for in years at my grandma's house that had been decorated with big old-fashioned Christmas lights.…

    I remember the first time I wrote an essay that was being graded at the college level. This was in my junior year when I took AP Language and Composition, our first essay was a rhetorical analysis essay from a very old excerpt that used old english and was very hard to read. When I first started reading the passage I started to get nervous because I didn't understand what the text was saying but then I started to annotate and the passage began to make sense. I found many rhetorical strategies that the author used and I then began to outline the essay in my head.…

    The most crucial step of my writing processes is letting my mind go wild and my fingers move freely. Whenever I write anything, I always let myself write whatever is on my mind at that exact second. Even if it doesn’t make 100% sense or isn’t exactly on topic, I’ll type it out. When I was writing my essay, I didn’t stop to fix anything until the very end. When I finished writing, I looked for mistakes.…

    He showed me that with every argument comes a counter argument; adding a counter argument reinforced my argument greatly. Another technique I applied to my essays with Professor Castro’s instruction was planning. In high school, planning an essay seemed like a waste of time because the assignments were always just five paragraph, five sentence essays. Since we had to write these essays in such a short amount of time for tests, I was able to produce the work the night before. On the other hand, Professor Castro has shown the divergence between high school and college; planning and editing are two essential steps in writing.…

    In two essays following my entrance essay, thesis statements became my biggest issue. I received a ninety on my entrance essay, so naturally I assumed that any future essay would only get better. This was not the case for me at all because instead of improvement, I regressed. The only way to correct my problem was to find the issue and figure out a resolution. Over the course of the semester, I have become aware that I still need to learn to write complete, specific, and fully developed thesis statements.…

    Writing is different for everyone. We all have interesting stories to tell. If there is one thing that is true for every writer, it is that we all have an inner critic. Allegra Goodman advises writers how to get past their inner critic in her article, “Calming the Inner Critic and Getting to Work”. Silencing my inner judgments can be one of the most challenging parts of writing, but once the critic is silenced something magical and therapeutic emerges.…

    After receiving my grade and feedback I realized my sentences were choppy and not well put together. When I submitted my paper the second time not only did I receive a better grade but also a better understanding of what my papers should look like and what the content should include. I really enjoyed writing this paper, because it allowed me to write about something I have a passion for. I really enjoy writing narratives, but I believe the easiest and best paper I wrote in this class would be essay two. This is when we chose an advertisement and analyzed the details about it.…

    I’ve chosen to focus on “Exploration and Argumentation” as the subject of this reflective introduction, specifically looking at my argument paper, “Abortion: Right or Wrong?” as a reference to the importance of this learning outcome. I chose to focus on this particular learning outcome because it was the most difficult essay for me to create.

    When I was young I was never the best at reading even though my parents owned many books and magazines that they read on a daily basis. My mother enjoyed reading her gossip magazines that she would receive in the mail once a month and my father had a whole bookshelf full of history books. My parents would always encourage me to read the books I would check out at the school library to improve my reading and writing but that advice usually went in through one ear and out the other. The only books I would really attempt to read had to be humorous or horrifying, my favorites were the Goosebumps collection. I loved reading these books alone in my room where I couldn’t be sidetracked by all the commotion that went on in my house.…
