Searching for SAT essay partners

Basically, I'm looking for people studying for the SAT who are willing to exchange essays with me on a 1:1 ratio, have the other person grade them objectively, provide detailed feedback, etc., say 3 or 4 essays per person per week for the next, say, 2 weeks. Of course, since this is informal, we can change this stuff easily.

Preferably taking SAT in fall + going for 800 writing like I am.

If you're interested, PM me.
Thx

My writing scores (haven't taken an actual SAT since 2.5 years ago and that doesn't count; these are practice test i.e. bluebook scores)
1. always miss 0-1 on both writing sections combined
2. um...8-11 essay? I really don't know.

^meaning in the 750-800 range.

Hi, Thank you for responding to my post also. I'm also taking the SAT in the fall and I'm interested in working with you. I see we have a lot of people interested too. Perhaps we should start some group chat sort of like a facebook group where we can each post up each others essays and comment on it.

Let's create a group on fb. And everyday (hopefully) someone manage to post an essay and we all grade it.

I don't have a Facebook either. I'll be your partner if you'd like. Pm me an essay to start out with, and I'll pm you one tomorrow. We can alternate, grade, and give one another constructive criticism.
