<p>My writing score was updated today! Last time, it took about two weeks for it to update! I got a 10 on my essay and here's my comment:</p>
<p>General statements in your essay were well supported with specific reasons, examples, and details.</p>
<p>I'm really curious to see what others get. How do they make these comments anyway? I'm assuming there's a list of generic comments the essay readers choose from.</p>
<p>September essay score: 11
Comments: Your essay addressed the complexity of the issue by fully responding to counterarguments.</p>
<p>June essay score: 12
Comments: Your essay addressed the complexity of the issue by fully responding to counterarguments. Your essay effectively supported general statements with specific reasons, examples, and details. The logical sequence of ideas in your essay fit its persuasive purpose well. Your essay showed a good command of language by using varied sentences and precise word choice.</p>
<p>…these people had a lot to say when it came to a one-point difference. lol</p>
<p>Got a 9. meh</p>
<p>Your essay showed recognition of the complexity of the issue by partially evaluating its implications. General statements in your essay were well supported with specific reasons, examples, and details.</p>

<p>35 W + 800 SAT W = 8 Essay lol</p>
<p>does essay score get released at random intervals? i havent gotten mine yet</p>
<p>I got mine with my other scores Monday morning. I guess I’m just lucky.</p>
<p>^ You are lucky indeed! I have yet to recieve mine.</p>
<p>Yuck, 8 essay. Now I’m definitely retaking.
Your essay adequately supported general statements with specific reasons, examples, and details. Your essay maintained focus on the specific issue in the prompt. Using more sentence variety and precise word choice would make your essay clearer and more engaging.</p>
<p>^I got the exact same thing minus the last sentence</p>
<p>34 in English yet an 8 essay. I hate these stupid tests.</p>
<p>S got a 36 English but only an 8 for the writing. I refuse to worry about it.</p>
<p>Guys, like the title asks, please post your Writing comments not just your score.</p>

<p>got an 8</p>
<p>Comments on Your Essay: Your essay responded to the prompt by taking a clear position on the issue. Your essay used some specific details, reasons, and examples, but it needed more of them.</p>
<p>^^ Exact same comment for my June ACT. I also scored an 8!</p>
<p>And wow, I think I win for most uninteresting comment!</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>It seems there are a limited number of comments for each score (2-12). But, how reliably is an essay evaluated? Will the same reader give different scores at different time of the day, week, or month? Will different readers give different scores on the same essay? How about gender effect, i.e., male/female readers on female/male writers?</p>
<p>The “a 36 English but only an 8 for the essay” is interesting. Does anyone get a 36 English but 7, 6, 5, or 4 on the essay?</p>
