The Top 15 Diagnostic Essay Topics For College You Wouldn't Think Of

The diagnostic essay is not exactly a style of essay writing, it is more accurately described as a test of essay writing ability. It is most often administered right before or right after the student is allowed into an institution so that their skill level can be accurately gauged. Based on the content of the essay remedial writing classes may be assigned or higher level classes may be allowed. It all depends on the quality of the showing made. Fortunately, it counts for little or nothing in terms of actual grades.

Because you are allowed to write on whatever you please, this is a good way to let you imagination run loose and show more than your understanding of grammar: show your creativity just as much or more. Here is a list of some out of the ordinary topics that can make your writing stand out from the crowd:

1. The last moments of a freshly cut blade of grass still nestled amongst its living brethren on the lawn
2. Can the use of mesmerism ever be justified in the pursuit of higher grades?
3. Compare and contrast the plot of ‘Beowulf’ with that of “Romeo and Juliet”
4. Should children be given the right to smoke cigarettes and drink alcohol if their intellect is at adult level or higher?
5. How to start a new religion and gain the respectability required to not be labelled as a cult
6. Should performing arts schools be banned from applying ageist policies against dancers?
7. Should citizens of countries be allowed to revoke all citizenship and live on self-sufficient crafts in unclaimed sections of the ocean?
8. What are the benefits of ordinary people forming armed militias to take the law into their own hands?
9. How do some women benefit from the continued existence of patriarchal systems?
10. How likely is it that supernatural creatures such as mermaids, werewolves, vampires and unicorns exist in secret?
11. Should people who anthropomorphise their pets be charged with animal abuse for trying to undermine their true nature?
12. The concept of race and why it exists only in the imagination
13. Why cold medicine can be dangerous in the wrong hands
14. The benefits of a soap free cleansing routine
15. How necessary is sleep?

Strange topics will not appeal to students uniformly. Choose the one you feel shows your skill to the best advantage.
