The SAT Essay - Directions, Scoring, Strategies and More
The SAT essay measures your ability to:
develop a point of view on an issue presented in an excerpt
support your point of view using reasoning and examples from your reading, studies, experience, or
observations
follow the conventions of standard written English
The essay gives you an opportunity to show how effectively you can develop and express ideas. You
should, therefore, take care to develop your point of view, present your ideas logically and clearly,
and use language precisely.
Your essay must be written on the lines provided on your answer sheet -- you will receive no other
paper on which to write. You will have enough space if you write on every line, avoid wide margins,
and keep your handwriting to a reasonable size. Remember that people who are not familiar with
your handwriting will read what you write. Try to write or print so that what you are writing is
legible to those readers.
