The essay section of the SAT® is probably the most difficult to prepare for. After all, you can't just look up your answer in the back of a book. And unfortunately, all too often this lack of SAT test preparation leaves students feeling uncertain and intimidated.

Here at The Princeton Review we don't ignore the essay. In fact, we went ahead and created an entire program dedicated to essay preparation: SAT LiveGraderSM. Open to all Princeton Review SAT students, the program allows you to submit essays to one of our specially trained SAT experts. You'll receive both a grade and personalized feedback based on standard SAT guidelines.

Your essay will be evaluated holistically, not just on the basis of a few particular traits. We'll tell you what worked and what didn't—and give real guidance on how the essay could be improved. So by the time test day rolls around you'll be ready to write the essay, not write it off.
