How do I do well on the SAT essay?

I know most colleges don’t really care about that score, but I’m retaking the SAT once more because my essay score is really low. I got a 6/2/5 breakdown in August and a 6/4/5 breakdown in March. In school subjects which require analytical essays, my teachers love my work. I have even placed in multiple essay contests. So I don’t understand why my SAT essay is so bad.

Can anyone help me?

What is your composite score?

@mamaedefamilia it’s 1530.

Don’t waste your time retaking to try to up your essay. Most schools don’t care and have dropped the requirement. Focus on the rest of your applications.

@Aneem00 1530 is an excellent score. I agree with @momofsenior1, don’t both retaking. There are other ways to demonstrate your writing skills. Congrats!
