SAT® Essay Scores

Essay scoring will consist of three scores:

Reading2–8 Scale

Analysis2–8 Scale

Writing2–8 Scale

Longitudinal Progress Monitoring+ Section Scores will be placed on a vertical scale.

+ This same concept will hold true for the Test and Cross- Test Scores as well as Total Score.

23

Vertical Scale Messaging

Keep in mind, the PSAT/NMSOT

and SAT are onthe same scale.

Your Score tells you how you would have scored on the SAT1 on that day. How well you do depends on what you do next!

When to Test

– Is offered s e v en ti mes a year in the United States

– Most students benefit from taking the SAT® twice: once in the spring of their junior year, and again in the fall of senior year.

– Students who take the SAT a second time usually increase their score.

– Taking the SAT more than twice does not result in further significant score gains. You should only pursue more than two tests if you were ill or felt significantly impaired during a previous exam.
