Essay Value

<p>Ok, I'm sure I can look this up(online or in one of my several sat prep books), but how much is the essay worth in terms of my writing score. I got the same amount of questions right as my previous score and my essay went up a point. However, my writing score only improved 10 points total. So I guess my question is, are the essay points always worth ten pts each?</p>

<p>It says in the BB around 30% of the 800 points. So around 240 points.</p>
