<p>How long does it take for my essay to be scored?</p>
<p>most of the essay scoring takes place on a late friday night after the english teachers have endured a long and stressful week, and are ready to relieve some of that stress by grading harshly on a few dozen pathetic 2-page essays. The teachers are probably given a week or so to logon to a "secure" collegeboard site and laboriously work through essays. I imagine it takes a few hours total for each grader.</p>
<p>What? They are scored by computer, not by people I thought...</p>
<p>oh, you mean the practice one online...</p>
<p>not sure about that one</p>
<p>anyone ????</p>
<p>the essays are scored by computer
it's instant</p>
<p>how do you know what you got?</p>
<p>It says your score.</p>
<p>click "submit"
then the page with your score and your essay will come up</p>
<p>oh... i got a 6, so 11-12. How accurate is this ?</p>
<p>Six times two is twelve... (referring to the previous poster, not the question about the accuracy of the online system, of which I have no idea)</p>
<p>Post your 6 essay. I'd like to read it.</p>
<p>"Here you received a score of 6 from the equivalent of one reader indicating a potential score of 11 - 12. "</p>
<p>Jesus, i was just asking if the score was accurate.</p>
<p>It isn't that I don't have confidence in myself, I just was wondering if the score was accurate, since I am not as familiar with the SAT scoring as I assumed you guys were. It really isn't that big of a deal. Next time I won't ask.</p>
<p>Josh I again ask if you would post your 6-scored essay. I'd like to read it to see how to improve my score.</p>
<p>There's bound to be people on CC who've taken the new SAT and used the practice test scoring online. They'll be able to better answer your question.</p>

<p>honestly i'm not sure about its accuracy. if you want, however, go to rocketreview.com and score your essay there and compare it with the score from the official collegeboard course.</p>
<p>Josh,
Please don't take offense, and please feel free to ask any future questions without reservations. Ill humor seems to abound here on these forums at the moment. I think a lot of us are wound pretty tight waiting for our scores, and some unlucky people are stressed out about school finals, etc. I wish I could answer your question, but I have no familiarity whatsoever with online essay grading. There will always be grumpy people in the world; don't take them too seriously.</p>
<p>thanks sl1201, will have to try it</p>
