SAT Essay View

Here you can view the essay prompt to which you responded and a copy of the essay you wrote. Your essay was given a possible score of  2-12.
Your essay was scored by trained high school and college teachers. Each reader gave the essay a score from 1 to 6 (6 is the highest score) based on the overall quality of the essay and your demonstration of writing competence. If each reader differed from one another by more than 1 point, your essay went to a third, expert reader who scored the essay.
To print a copy of your essay, select the “Print Essay” button at the top left of the screen. Essays are stored in PDF format--you must have Adobe Acrobat Reader installed to print a copy of your essay.
Please note: If your essay received a score of 0, it was because it was not written on the essay assignment, it was deemed illegible by several different readers, or it was not attempted (left blank).
