A question on the SAT essay.

<p>Wow, that test was intense...Twas my first SAT too. I think I did alright. However, I wasn't able to finish my essay in time. I was finishing the conclusion when time was called. Do unfinished essays cause readers to lower your score? I think I wrote a rather excellent essay, yet I wasn't able to complete it...Will that bring about a lower score?</p>

<p>And how soon does one recieve scores?</p>

<p>Conclusion won't affect you greatly. You probably won't get a 12, but if your essay is good, you probably still have a chance at 11 or 10. I think the collegeboard web said that the score will be online on April 4th.</p>

<p>11 or 10 probably. It depends on how much of a conclusion you had done.</p>

<p>My conclusion was about 3/5 complete, maybe 4/5</p>

<p>I read that results would be up on the website on the 29th.</p>

<p>Eleven in that case, if your essay was strong overall. Good job =]</p>

<p>Thanks.</p>

<p>I really hope I did well...</p>

<p>What about if you had ONE sentence for your conclusion, and it wasn't really an eloquently stated conclusion?</p>

<p>I also only had 2 lonnnng examples.... I didn't get to fill up both pages though... i finished like 3/5 of the second page. What would my score be? 10 or 11?</p>

<p>Length is a big factor apparently, so 10?</p>

<p>wait length is a big factor?
oh no,i didnt know that
i did like 1 and half? and i used
two well developed examples
what would i get?</p>

<p>I read a friend's essay that was 1.5 pages and she only got a 9... If your essay was really great, with good use of vocab and good examples, a 10 is possible I suppose.</p>

<p>I bet you got a 10. ;)</p>

<p>I did the same thing, except my essay probably sucked… I thought it was solid at the time but it apparently wasnt because I got a 6 on the essay bit. Really disappointed but now I know and I’ll try to finish it when I take it again in December.</p>
