Multiple-choice tests are scored by a computer.
Essays written for the College Composition exam are graded by two or more college English professors. The essay grade is combined with the multiple-choice score, and the result is reported as a scaled score.
A small number of colleges require optional essays for American Literature, Analyzing and Interpreting Literature, College Composition Modular, and English Literature, which are evaluated and graded by the colleges that require them. A copy of the essay and the score report of the multiple-choice section will be sent to your designated institutions.
