如何用好这些例子看了那么多万能例子，再加上大家平时积累的，估计在考试中也是够用的了，那么我们应该怎么用好这些例子呢?
下面用乔布斯作为例子，讲一讲。
据官方数据统计，SAT作文中用的最多的一个例子是斯蒂夫·乔布斯，为什么这个例子成为绝大多数学生的首选呢?第一，知名度高，尤其是在美国。正因为大多数人都知道他，所以才会有这么多的人去引用他的故事。另一方面，考官对这个例子的熟悉度越高，也就越容易接受它。第二，乔布斯的故事涉及很多点，从这很多个点中我们可以提取出很多内容应用到SAT作文的各个话题中。例如，乔布斯和沃兹合作的故事可以用来写合作优势类的题目，乔布斯辍学，被排挤出自己公司，患癌症等经历可以用来写失败与成功类的作文，乔布斯在开发自己产品时要求非常高，甚至达到了极端苛刻的地步，这一点可以用来写追求完美类的作文。
如果仔细挖掘的话，也许由乔布斯的故事中，我们还可以发现更多可以用于SAT写作中的东西。因此，我们考生在备考的时候，可以多找一些像乔布斯这样万能的例子，在写不同的作文时，尽量地用这一个例子来套，套例子的时候只要稍做修改或者添与题目有关的内容就可以了。
由此可见，我们在准备SAT作文素材的时候，例子的选取，对所选人物的深度挖掘和理解，会比只注重数量，却对每一个例子都浅尝辄止的做法更好。当然，例子的选取除了要考虑应用广度之外，还要尽可能的新颖。可以想象，当阅卷老师看了一百个版本的乔布斯的例子之后，终于有一个不一样的例子出现，肯定会有眼前一亮的感觉。
积累SAT写作例子的方法和途径很多，大家在生活中多观察多总结就会有很多的发现。也并不是名人的例子就是万能的，只要大家能够准备一个适合自己的写作话题的，能更好的论证自己的观点的例子就可以了。
