How do you see the essay score?

If you go to college board then click the blue link at the top of the page that says like “January SAT scores are now available”, it’ll take you to a page where it shows your essay score. You probably got like a 78 MC and 10 essay like @glassflowers. To cheer you up, you got the same score as that one guy on the internship who went to Harvard for computer science :).

I got a 9 essay but on my last SAT my prompt was very similar so I wrote pretty much the same essay this time… same examples, commentary, etc. and last time I got a 10. I hate how subjective it is. I missed 2 MC + 9 essay and got a 780 so I don’t think the curve was harsh.

Went from a 2200 (680 CR, 770 M, 750 W) on the October sitting to a 2290 on this one (760 CR, 740 M, 790 W). Although I’m a little upset I couldn’t get an 800 M like I was expecting, overall I’m pretty happy because I was so sure that I did badly on the January test. Congrats to everyone who reached their goals, and if not, there’s always the new SAT or the ACT!

So a perfect MC and a 9 on the essay is an 800? Screw the essay graders, if you look in the Blue Book the examples they give for a 4 essay (just 1 score not overall) are pretty bad and only 1 page long…they graded really hard for this essay, especially considering the hard prompt.

@JuicyMango Good job on ur score!! I have seen over the past few months that u are very helpful and committed, and I’m sure u deserved ur score. So close to that 2400 tho!!!

2210
660cr math780 770w
superscore adds a 710 for cr so 2260 superscore

will the 660 cr this have a bad impact on my profile?

@JuicyMango congrats man u didnt get a 2200 again ;)!

I’m just gonna stick to the new sat

@Noob99 How’d you get 780M, wasn’t the curve 800, 770, 740?

2400!

2370- Math 770- harsh curve- I think I made one mistake that I discovered early on when reading this thread. Detailed report available Feb 16th. 800 in reading and writing. Curve much better.

@bubblepop12444 I’m an international

2310 (800 CR, 770 M, 740 WR). Well, Math and CR are more important anyway. Happy about my score, I’m done with the SAT forever!

the ones who get a bad score don’t post here

@thetex On the contrary, I think it serves as a motivator in a way for the “bad score[rs]” to improve their scores.

can u guys post ur essay and multiple choice score (out of 80) to see what the curve was like?
