<p>So for some reason, i was really out of it and i wrote that Ronald Reagon was part of the watergate scandal, not Richard Nixon. I did this today..., would saying this obviously wrong information lower my score? I know im retarded.</p>
<p>Also this is the 2nd time im taking it and i think i got 6-8 wrong on the writing section and like 7-11 wrong on the CR... pretty fail, i know. Im pretty sure of 800 on math though. so assuming that i got my mistake doesn't effect(grammar?), my grade a 4-5 on the essay. Can anyone predict a score range? this is my 2nd time taking it and im probably gonna cancel if i don't get 2100+ cuase i don't want everything to ride on my may/june test (I've been told that taking 4+ tests has some kind of negative impact? is this true?)</p>
<p>Ehh. Saying Richard Dixon instead of Richard Nixon is an OK mistake. Even politically apathetic SAT Essay Correctors will know this obvious mistake though – Ronald Reagan, seriously? I can’t see you getting more than a 10 for such a mistake.</p>
<p>Why would you write that Reagan was part of the Watergate scandal? That statement is irrelevant to the essay. The fact that you didn’t know the difference between Nixon and Reagan means that you were trying to drop facts as opposed to using things you already know to support your argument. You are supposed to use reasoning to support your thesis, not make statements or things you had memorized. It’s like writing a movie review and only stating what happened in the movie as opposed to your opinion about the movie.</p>
<p>In any case, you may get in the 2000s or barely hit 2100.</p>
<p>Haha, I did the same thing (kind of). One of my examples was Andrew Johnson and for some weird reason I wrote Andrew Jackson So I’m either hoping my grader knows nothing about American history or they’ll get the idea of who I’m talking about through the details in the example. They should understand who you’re talking about too so hopefully we don’t get any points taken away :)</p>
