<p>True, but I am aware that if the points given are too far apart, a third reader will read your essay as well, and that third score will be taken into account. Also, the SAT has been criticized for being unfair or whatever, but there is no test that can possibly suit everyone. Therefore, I believe that there is no point complaining about the grading. It is made random to ensure quality, and so that the essays can be graded without prejudice, but obviously that doesn’t work, because kids get scores that differ by more than 2 sometimes. However, one will not mistake a 9 essay for a 12 essay, and vice versa, no matter how bad the scorer is.</p>
