HELP! SSAT Essay too light

Hi! I got a 97% (2310) on my SSAT but a combination of me writing too light and bad scanner quality (there were vertical lines all over the page) makes my essay almost impossible to read. One of the schools I’m applying to emailed me today said my application would not be valid if I didn’t get a better copy. College Boards says my essays can’t be rescanned. What do I do? (I traced the essay in pen and scanned it, could that work if I sent it in)

Call SSAT support and make sure to fully explain the situation. Hopefully they will agree to scan a better copy. For $100+ per test session, I would hope they listen.

Good Luck!
