How to calculate the essay

<p>Hi guys,</p>

<p>In my may scores I am checking right now I got 08 and 39 subscores.
What does this mean I thought that the essay is graded till 6 not 08?
Because right now I bought some grammar book and covering all basics,so I enter and do good on the next october exam.</p>

<p>Two readers grade your essay and their scores are added. If their scores differ by more than 1 point, a third grader will grade it.</p>

<p>Yes,but I got 8 in my paper what does this mean ? I thought its graded out of 6.</p>

<p>The 8 is out of 12. Two graders grade your paper out of 6, and these grades are added together to get a mark out of 12. So 8/12 means you averaged a 4 out of 6.</p>

<p>

</p>

<p>It is. Two separate graders grade your essay out of 6. If their scores are within one point of each other, those 2 scores (out of 6) are added to generate an essay scores out of 12.</p>

<p>Thanks guys.</p>
