Jan 28th essay issue..

<p>guys....</p>

<p>I heard from someone i Know that essay grading is mostly based on length
I wrote 3/4 of 2 pages and is it possible that I can get 10 on essay?
My essay was about drawbacks that an issue has outside itself like impacts on its surroundings and negative feedback and stuff.

<p>The grade is based of these factors: being on topic, a succinct and clear introduction that states your thesis and prepares the reader for the examples, 2-3 compelling examples that are clearly on topic and which suggest “maturity”, relevant on topic proof in the examples (as distinct from unproven assertions or an anecdotal summary), a succinct summary with a “perspective”, minimal repetition and good writing mechanics. In practice if you do all this, you’re likely to end up with 400+ words. It’s quite possible to do the same with somewhat fewer words.</p>

<p>Length by itself won’t get you a good score.</p>

<p>haha thanks for pointing it out but that does not answer my question;
my question was whether I could get a 10 with an 3/4 page essay.
Because based on what I heard regardless of the content length gives you higher score.
you said consider other factors but what does that tell me?
A possible interpretation of my question would be what is the average score that people who wrote 3/4 page essay get on their writing assuming quality is the same?
Thanks for trying to be informative but it was not what I asked for sorry. :)</p>

<p>well, that sounds a bit risky…I got my essay a 9 last october, and I left 10 lines unwritten(cause I wrote too many words each line). I suppose the length is the reason.(I got a TOEFL writing score of 30, so I do not really think that I am that unskilled at writing…)
This time (1.28) I finished my essay just at the bottom line of the second page, so I hope I can do better…</p>

<p>ya you will :)</p>

<p>it makes much sense becuase collegeboard gets like loads of essays every test and they can’t look through each of them, they will grade them based on length.</p>
