<p>Where is it?</p>
<p>How much does it cost? (What if we bought 8 Real SATs?)</p>
<p>What can it grade? (IE, can it grade any of the 8 essay questions in the blue book?)</p>
<p>Thanks..</p>
<p>(Oh, and does anyone know how reliable it is? Seems ridiculous to me that they could actually have a computer which can grade essays..)</p>
<p>I think you have to sign up for the online course ($69.95), but I'm not sure...</p>
<p>I do know that it can score all the essays in the Official SAT Study Guide plus some additional essays from the online course.</p>
<p>I had to sign up for the online course when I registered for it. I think that's the only way. But if you have the blue book you get a discount.</p>
<p>To me, the most useful thing about the online grader is that it also grades responses to the sample essays in the blue book (the ones that have model responses). You can type in the 12-scoring responses from the College Board, then fiddle with them and score different variations of them. The results are pretty interesting.</p>
<p>Any by the way, you're right that it's ridiculous the essays can be scored with a computer. But they can. And that should tell you a lot of useful things about the best way to write them (many of which were reinforced by the recent NYT article posted a few times on this forum).</p>
