Requesting a copy of your SAT essay?

<p>Can you request a copy of your SAT essay form the College Board? How?</p>

<p>D got 2150 which I was pleased with, CR 760 Math 710 Writing 680
But I have just learned that she got a 75 on the MC section under writing and only a 6 on the essay! </p>

<p>I'd really like to see what she wrote on that essay since I've read that some people that didn't even finish their essays got scores of 8, even 10. She is a straight A student and scores well on essays in her English class. This just doesn't seem right to me. She plans to retake the SAT in her Junior year but I'd really like to see what she wrote on that essay so she doesn't repeat her mistakes. </p>

<p>Do you not see a scan when you log into the College Board’s website and look at the score report?</p>

<p>No, I don’t have access to D’s College Board website. I only found out about the low essay score when it was posted on Naviance. She only told me her combined writing score which wasn’t as good we hoped but ok since she had done so well on the MC section it covered up her poor essay score. That low essay score explains a lot. Thank you so much for this information!!! I will ask her to print out her essay and make arrangements for a tutor ASAP.</p>

<p>Okay, yeah, unless College Board procedures have changed recently, you should definitely be able to find an image file of your daughter’s essay in her collegeboard.com account.</p>

<p>Wow! just wow! Thank you all so much! My personal experience with the College Board predates the internet so I had no idea my D would have access to a scan of her essay. After getting her log on info so I could see her essay it looked hinky to say the least. The scan looked like it faded at the last word so it appears that the essay was unfinished and left off mid word. D remembers completing the essay though no time left to edit it. After the fade out of the mid word there seams to be about a page of random illegible marks where her conclusion paragraph should have been.</p>

<p>I called the College Board and they looked at it and said it looked like a scanning error on their part but I needed to request for score revivification. If it showed a bad scan they would refund the verification fee. I’m requesting hand verification of the essay both because it looked odd and because it it was so off from her other scores.</p>

Hello! May i ask what happened after your score verification? Did your daughter get a better score? I want to do the same thing too. I got a 5/12 and I am a top student in English in my school. And i got 10 for the past 2 SATs :frowning: thanks so much for your help!
