<p>This is going to sound cocky, but isn’t meant to.</p>
<p>On the ACT I know that a 10/12 is a good score. How good is it? Do you think I would probably be able to get the same essay score on the SAT when I take it in April?</p>
<p>Do you have to pay to see your essay online?</p>
<p>It reallly depends on what kind of essays you’re good at. I think ACT does a good job with essays. They have an objective essay with a real school-related topic, and they grade you on how logical your essay is.</p>
<p>The SAT essay is VERY fickle. With such abstract topics and many conspiracy theories about biases against bad handwriting, I’d say it’s more difficult to get a high score on SAT essay unless you’re really good at open-ended essays. </p>
<p>No you don’t have to pay to see SAT essay score.</p>
<p>What about the ACT essay online ?</p>
<p>I would have to agree with Rman, the SAT essay can be really ambiguous. This is an exaggeration, but the prompts can be like, “What is your opinion on the world?” I remember my SAT essay having something to do with practical training vs. vocational training (along those lines); whereas my ACT essay was on playing sports and how that affects academics (a lot more concrete).</p>
<p>However, I scored higher on my SAT essay for some reason. So, while the prompts can be very annoying, just pick around 3 examples to support your argument and you should be fine.</p>
<p>As to the ACT essay online (not sure what you’re referring to), but in order to see your ACT score early, you have to pay $5 or something (you usually only get to see the multiple choice though). Then your full score report comes about 6 weeks later.</p>
<p>What is the link to the website for the ACT essays</p>
<p>Here’s the link to the ACT’s info on the writing section. Hopefully this is what you’re looking for.</p>

<p>Thanks, but that isn’t what I’m looking for. I think you have to order what I want: what you produced on the day of the test.</p>
<p>`HI, I applied to those two colleges and got in, Duquesne and University of Sciences in Philadelphia.</p>
<p>I both got in to them as a pharmacy major.</p>
<p>I would like to know which one is better as socially and educationally.</p>
<p>Anyone knows??Please give me some info. I have to decide where to go!</p>
<p>THANK YOU.</p>
<p>Thanks, but that isn’t what I’m looking for. I think you have to order what I want: what you produced on the day of the test.</p>
<p>dont get your hopes up, most colleges aren’t to be that critical/ looking at the essay at all since there are no real standards for the writing section yet.</p>

<p>SAT Class - 12/12</p>
<p>Real Test (I have crap handwriting) - 7/12</p>
<p>There is no way in hell I wrote that badly. I am certain penmanship counts.</p>
<p>Personally, I think that the SAT is graded easier, just use literary examples and you’ll be fine! I know that sounds like a mass generalization, but I wrote what I thought was a better essay in March and got a 10 using non-literary examples, but when I mentioned Poe and Fitzgerald in June, I got a 12. Honestly, I think that a lot of the info I used in there was false. The ACT, on the other hand, I got a 10 as well, and I felt that was probably the most logical essay that I had written of the three. It’s all very subjective though, I guess no one will ever know how they grade them.</p>
<p>hmm, that sucks if handwriting counts, consideirng one of my teachers once told me that “I write like a stroke victim”. But I got a 10 on the essay, maybe I would have scored better? I don’t know, I’m not too concerned either way.</p>
