<p>Can a student have a 36 composite score even if one scores a 6 on the essay?</p>
<p>What is the highest score needed on essay to get a perfect score?</p>
<p>I believe that the essay has no impact on the Composite score, but it does affect the combined English/Writing score. However, only the English score alone factors into the Composite.</p>
<p>The essay has no impact on the composite score. So yes, u can get a 36 with a 6 on the essay</p>
<p>Thanks Raza and Namenottaken.</p>
