Update: Get instant feedback on your SAT practice essays

Hello, I recently wrote an SAT essay for practice about the National Wildlife Reserve. However, I noticed that the revision assistant doesn't seem to understand my essay. I was wondering how, if there is a way, would I get a real person to review my essay.

I'm at a loss as to how to help my son figure out how to find the Khan Academy feedback on his practice SAT essay.  Can you please advise?  Thanks, Lisa 

Hi Lisa! 

I'm more than happy to help!

There are two different SAT essay features, the first one in which the essay in the context of a full exam just gives you a score (with three subscores), and this information is shown in the end-of-task card for the essay section

You can find this information by following these steps:

1. Have your son Access the SAT Dashboard
2. Click on the Review tab
3. Click on the Essay tab; this section will provide you the option of reviewing the score that was given to your son in the Essay. 

Please note: The essay response will be evaluated by two scorers. Each grader will assign a score of 1-4 in each of three categories: Reading, Analysis, and Writing (RAW). These scores will be added together to give you a 2–8 score on each of the three dimensions. 

The second one is the Revision Assistant practice in the Essay practice tab; the student gets feedback in the form of “signal checks” which are little comments about individual sentences, etc. that they could improve. 

How do we upload the essay for SAT Practice Test #1 to get feedback please?
