From the SSAT website:

What is measured? Your essay will be used by admission officers to assess your writing skills. The exercise is not scored by SSAT, but a copy of your essay is forwarded to each school you request as a score recipient.

From me: He should not stress about the essay. His English teacher’s recommendation will carry much more weight than his SSAT essay. If he’s a particularly strong writer, include samples of his best writing in his applications.
