和兒子的爭吵,關於handwriting

和兒子(11年級)爭吵了一晚上,我說handwriting會影響SAT essay grade,因為人都是有感情的,如一個essay剛剛好5分,如你的handwriting不好(但能認出來),就可能得4分,但他說,college board說了handwriting好不好(但能認出來)不會影響SAT essay grade,最後誰也說服不了誰,我們就達成協議貼到網上,如大家說他對,我就向他認錯,以下是他在College Confidential forum的post:
How much does handwriting affect SAT essay grade?
Here is the scenario:
An SAT essay that is a clear 5 essay (from 1-6) is written by a student with average handwriting: legible, but not super clean/typed looking.
This essay is compared to an exact replica of the 5 essay, the exact same content and everything, except that this replica has an extremely clean, almost typed look.
When an SAT grader looks at these two essays, will the scores differ by one point, due to the neatness of the second essay?
For example, if the first essay received a 5, what are the chances that the second essay receives a 6 just because it had super clean handwriting?
