<p>Sorry im kind of new to the SAT. I have taken the ACT twice and have decided to give the SAT a shot becuase I hear I will do better on it than the ACT because of my skill in english and lack of skill in math. Does the essay incorporate into your cumulative score on the SAT? Or is it like the ACT where it is a totally seperate part of the test that does not affect your composite?</p>
<p>The essay is incorporated into the writing section score (they somehow combine your essay score out of 12 with your MC score to give a total score out of 800 for writing)</p>
