<p>My son got 770 on the May writing, with 80MC and 8 for his essay. It isn't likely to go up -- Not because of writing ability, but because of handwriting ability. Sloooow and sloppy. Will the colleges see the essay score?</p>
<p>Bump – Is this just a dumb question that everyone else knows the answer to, or is it truly a mystery?</p>
<p>I’m pretty sure they do</p>
<p>That’s how I’m leaning, too. Oh well. After seeing his essay today, I think he did pretty well. It’s amazing how handwriting and length can hurt. No grammar, punctuation or spelling errors, complex sentence structure, a handful of SAT vocab words, and still and 8. I think he’ll just roll with it.</p>
