What does an essay score of 6/6/6 on the new SAT mean?
Does the essay score affect the overall SAT score?
Yes, the essay is optional but it is still an important component of the SAT. The essay is scored separately from the rest of the exam, but its score is still factored into the overall SAT score. The SAT is scored on a scale of 400-1600, with the essay scored separately on a scale of 2-8.
