sat essay/writing score

<p>how good is a 10?
They do not report percentiles, so I do not know how that measures up. Would it be roughly equivalent to what, on a 200-800 scale? on a percentile basis?</p>

<p>just wondered.</p>

<p>a ten is pretty good. the highest score is a 12. the essay is graded by two people who grade it out of a scale of 6 and they add the scores up for your total. and if the two scores differ by more than 2 points, a third person grades it and they take the average. </p>

<p>so basically you probably got two 5s, and since each is out of 6, that's good.</p>
