Did you get a 9 on this essay, or on a different one?

Are you hoping for a crystal ball that will tell you your test score before it is official? No one can do that, of course.

Or were you seeking some feedback and constructive criticism to improve your writing?

I think the essay you write for the SAT Writing exam, and the score you receive on that essay, are likely to have less of an impact on your admissions experience when you apply to colleges than the quality of the essays you write on the applications. You actually can overcome a mediocre essay score on the SAT with a very strong multiple choice score on that exam…and a number of colleges don’t really look at that sub-score anyhow. But they do look at the essays you write and how you portray yourself.

Right now, I must tell you, you use language that is not idiomatically correct and you portray yourself as arrogant and resistant to constructive suggestions. I am not saying this to be unkind, but to give you unbiased feedback about how you are coming across. You might want to work on that.
