when do the essay scores come out and how do they influence the composite score?

the essay scores usually come out a week or 2 after the MC scores come out

and the writing does not affect your composite score.... on the score sheet, it'll have your composite, the 4 subject area scores, and then it'll have your writing score with a separet "combined english/writing" score at the bottom... this score does not have any effect on your overall composite score

I've gotten an 8 on the writing 3 times in a row.

I'm SICK of that number. I hate their BS grading, too.

The website says they will have schedule maintenance tonight, so I'm guessing the majority of people will get their scores tomorrow.

I got an 11 on my essay. My English section was a 32 and the writing/english composite was also a 32. Does the writing score usually affect the writing/english composite?
