10 Really Great FREE Sites for Essays, Exams & Papers

September 15, 2008 by sharky

Ah, September! The days are getting shorter, the leaves are changing colour, and scholars & academics are all back in school. If you’ve ever tried Googling for essays and term papers, sifting through the vast array of results can be daunting, as most websites only offer premium (paid) services without offering any free downloads.

As with everything else on the ‘Net, scams are around every corner when it concerns essay sites. We’ve put together a collection of ten great websites that cater specifically to exams, essays & term papers that are, indeed, completely free of charge.

www.echeat.com

eCheat.com serves up over 8,200 essays and term papers, all of which are freely available for download. To make it easy for users to sort through, essays are ‘graded’ from F to A+, with a great assortment of categories to browse through as well.

Worried about the prof figuring out that you downloaded an essay? No worries, there are two options to circumvent this: You can either hire someone to write you a brand-new custom paper (at $19.95 per page); or, select an existing essay from their premium services for $9.95 per page. After all, "It’s Not Cheating, It’s Collaborating."

www.freeforessays.com

Free For Essays currently boasts over 50,000 free user-submitted essays. They provide students examples of essays written by other students to help aid you in your term paper writing needs. To view the full text of the papers you must first login on the site, but it’s well worth the trouble.

www.oppapers.com

OPPapers has tens of thousands of free term papers, free book reports, and free essays on file. It’s not uncommon for them to receive hundreds of new submissions each day, so check back often. To view the complete essays, you’ll first need to create a free account and login to the site - which also means you’ll need to donate one paper to the site. TIPS: When ’searching’, change the radio button to "oppapers.com" or else you’ll be redirected to FratFiles.com - a pay site. Also, when browsing, scroll down past the first five results (these also belong to FratFiles). Aside from this minor nuisance, OPPapers offers an astoundingly vast selection.
