For an extremely enlightening view of what some juniors and seniors are capable of coming up with in 25 minutes, I highly suggest you consult College Confidential thread of 11 and 12 essays (http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/sat-preparation/409070-sample-sat-12-essays.html).
The thread does a pretty great job of dispelling the notion that there's some sort of magic formula guaranteed to result in a high score: some of the essay are quite conventional, but others are wildly out of the box and include things that most SAT tutors in their right minds would never dare to suggest.
Thanks to Michelle Cronin for originally posting this link on her blog.
