Language
Essay scorers consider the accuracy, variety, and difficulty of vocabulary the writer uses.
Language like this wont earn a high score:
In life, there is a lot of pressure to do what other people want you to do. Sometimes its smart to do what other people want you to do.
Language like this will earn a high score:
In life, there are many pressures to conform to resist these pressures too strongly.
Sentence Structure
The correctness and variety of sentences are also important to the overall score.
Heres an example of a conclusion with unvaried sentence structure:
We need to listen to our inner voice. We need to resist the pressures to conform to the expectations of others. We dont want to lose the ability to think and act for ourselves. We would never discover our own potential for greatness.
Heres an example of an improved conclusion with varied sentence structure:
If we dont listen to our inner voice, if we never resist the pressures to conform to the expectations of others, we eventually lose the ability to think and act for ourselves. Moreover, we never discover our own potential for greatness.
Conventions
For the SAT, this means the correct use of punctuation, grammar, and mechanics . Spelling is generally not an important factor, unless, of course, errors make the language incomprehensible.
