Did you know that you don’t have to write a perfect SAT Essay to get a perfect score of 6? It’s true.
You can have spelling errors, factual and grammatical errors and still get a top score. So what does it take to get a perfect score.
Well the College Board released 20 top-scoring essays recently and here’s what they said after analyzing the results.
¶Eighty-four percent of the essays took up more than one page, and longer essays were more likely to get a high score than shorter ones. (Two pages is the limit.)
¶Most essays were printed, but those written in cursive got slightly higher scores.
¶About half the essays were written in the first person, but those that did not use the first person got slightly higher scores.
I discovered all this after reading an article in the New York Times found at the link below:
