SAT® Essay Scores
Essay scoring will consist of three scores:
Reading
Analysis
Writing
2–8 Scale
2–8 Scale
2–8 Scale
Longitudinal Progress Monitoring
+
Section Scores will be placed on a vertical scale.
+
This same concept will hold true for the Test and CrossTest Scores as well as Total Score.
23
Vertical Scale Messaging
Keep in mind,
the PSAT/NMSOT
and SAT are on
the same scale.
Your Score tells you how you would have
scored on the SAT1 on that day. How well
you do depends on what you do next!

When to Test
– Is offered seven times a year in the
United States
– Most students benefit from taking
the SAT® twice: once in the spring
of their junior year, and again in the
fall of senior year.
– Students who take the SAT a second time usually
increase their score.
– Taking the SAT more than twice does not result in
further significant score gains. You should only
pursue more than two tests if you were ill or felt
significantly impaired during a previous exam.
