The best way to ensure that you will do well on an essay, regardless of the type, is to be well read on the subject. the more you know about the topic or the stronger you feel about it, the easier it will be to write it. The trick is figuring out how to pull that off in a situation such as the SAT where you have no idea what the topic is going to be.

In those instances, it looks like you already have a solid concept of the structure that needs to be applied to the essay. Below is a sample outline, which you have already basically provided. As long as you provide each of these key components, you should do well on the essay.

Introduction

Clearly identify the topic
Identify your position on the topic (if applicable)

Body

Provide basic information about the topic
Give clear examples to support your position
Conside providing contrasting ideas about the topic

Conclusion

Restate the topic
Restate key points supporting your position
