Hi! When I took my first SAT in October, I got a 1500 (730 Verbal, 770 Math), but I got a 24/24 essay. However, when I took the SAT again, I got a 1580 (780 verbal, 800 math), but I only got a 17/24 on the essay. How much does the essay matter because for score choice colleges, I only want to send my 1580? Also, can you only send your multiple choice scores to college and not your essay? Idk what to do and I’m freaking out because I don’t know whether I should be happy or not.
The SAT essay doesn’t matter that much, from what I have heard. A 17 isn’t going to hurt you.
Same here, 1580 and 17 essay!! 
It depends on the college I think. Some don’t want your essay, some do.
thanks so much! I don’t think it does, especially because I originally got a perfect score.
I’m pretty sure that nobody cares about the essay anymore.
The essay is optional for most schools. It is good to have the essay in case they want it, but I just sent my scores without the essay
Is it possible to send scores without the essay?
