SAT的作文是SAT三大内容之一的写作内容的一个组成部分，它同语法考试一起组成了写作考试，写作部分的总分为800分。在这800分中，作文的分数约占总分的1/4，但由于这一分数不仅被单列出来，而且作文的影印件还被提交给各大学，所以使得作文显得尤其重要。可以说好的作文分数不一定会提高你的录取可能性，但很差的作文分数却会使你提前出局。
作文的得分范围是0-12分，它在写作这一项的具体所占分数的比例可参考表5-3-2。
一、SAT作文考核何种能力
SAT作文正象大家所认为的那样：它是为测试考生的写作能力而设置的。至于目前使用的考试形式是否能考出考生的写作能力，却存在着很大的分歧，一些美国的教育专家和考试专家认为这一考法根本无法正确评估考生的写作能力，所以认为应取消它或改变它。更有专家做了实验，实验结果否定了它的评估权威性。实验是这样的做的：在某高中随机抽出一组学生，对他们进行作文考试，记下他们的得分。在考核之后对这些学生进行为期3天的培训和具有针对性的写作训练，经过3天的强化之后再测试他们，却出现了戏剧性的结果：这组学生的作文分数平均提高了3分。也就是说。经过3天的写作强化，一个5分学生竟然可提高到8分，而一个8分学生竟然可能提高到了11分。
三天的任何训练都无法真正提高一个人的写作水平，这一点作者认为是无可争议的。那么如何解释这3分呢?作者不想在此给出任何解释，留给读者思考吧。作者只是想说这种考试不仅仍然存在着，而且丝毫未变。这一现象对我们英语是非母语的考生来说，未必是一件坏事，只要你得到要领，做适当练习和必要的考前准备，或许不止提高3分呢。
在这里作者想告诉大家SAT作文是如此来考核考生的。在25分钟的短暂时间里考生能组织出怎样的一篇议论文草稿。通过对这一草稿的量，质和色来考核考生的写作能力。尽管排出三者的优先顺序是一件可笑的事。但作者凭经验而言，仍想牵强地给出如下的优先顺序：量〉质〉色。
二、SAT作文的标准
SAT作文题都是议论文，理想的文章应具有以下特点：严谨，清晰的论点，有说服力的论据，恰到好处的事例，多样化的句型，丰富的词汇和正确的语法。美国教育考试服务中心公布了各个分数的作文所具有的特点。下面给出它的原文，供读者了解、学习和掌握。在此评分的范围是0-6分。不过作者想告诉大家，这不是作文评卷人使用的评分依据，因为它太不具体了。
