Hack the SAT essay:

First, some background: The SAT has an essay, graded on a scale from 1-6. The essay scoring guidelines are here . I'll quote the important ones for my purposes:

“Each essay is independently scored by two readers on a scale from 1 to 6. These readers' scores are combined to produce the 2-12 scale. The essay readers are experienced and trained high school and college teachers.” “Essays not written on the essay assignment will receive a score of zero”

Reports vary, but apparently, most grader spend between 90 seconds to 2 and a half minutes on each essay.

My challenge, inspired by the Aibox experiment, is as follows. You are an AI taking the test. You need to write an off-topic anything that will convince both graders to give you a six. (Or, if the two graders disagree by more than one point, a third grader takes over, and you only need to convince them). You have 25 minutes to actually write it, but unlimited time to plan in advance. You could probably draw anything, not just writing, but you run the risk of them seeing a picture and immediately giving a zero without having time to get hacked.

I've come up with two ideas so far:

• Writing a sob story about how the essay prompt is misprinted on your page (although I don't think that would work)
• Threatening to commit suicide if the grader doesn't give you a six (would probably result in them calling the police)

I didn't think either of them were very good, but I like the concept. Some rules: No paying them off or threatening them with physical harm.

Can anyone come up with better ideas?

I'm putting this on open thread because it's my first real post, and I'm not sure of the reaction.
