<p>If my essay didn't have a conclusion, how do you think that will affect my score? I managed to finish the last body paragraph, but it ended kind of abruptly. The essay took up almost all of the possible space, though.</p>
<p>I’m sorta in the same boat as you. Freaked out on the conclusion (it’s there) but oh god I hope the reader will be able to read it.</p>
<p>How low a grade do you think someone can get on the essay and still get 800, assuming no MCs missed?</p>
<p>I’m pretty much the same as you, I took up every single line and my conclusion only consisted of one (really basic and generic) sentence. Hopefully the scorers will understand that I had no time left and think that my examples were good enough :P</p>
<p>^^ You can get an 8 if you have perfect MC and the curve is lenient.</p>
<p>Essays without a conclusion could still score a 10 or above.</p>
<p>According to collegeboard, it seems like they don’t care too much about structure, it seems like it’s considered but not a whole lot</p>
<p>Doesn’t really matter as long as the part before conclusion is good.</p>
<p>In the last two years I’ve personally seen a dozen 12-scoring essays with no conclusion or a one-sentence conclusion (of course all of them filled two pages).</p>
