<p>And don't forget the different lengths of dashes!</p>
<p>Do you want an en-dash, an em-dash, or a hyphen with that?</p>
<p>I fully agree, but that might be attributed to the fact that grammar is my strongest SAT section.</p>
<p>totally agree...12 essay, 73 mc --> 780....though CR was 770, so not a huuge difference, but still...:D</p>
<p>I would advocate for colleges allowing you to use your Writing score as a substitute for an SAT 2 score, if you so choose.</p>
<p>I think that would be fair.</p>
<p>Cannot agree more. Writing definitely needs to be in consideration.</p>
<p>740, a ten on the essay (needs to be weighed way way more)</p>
<p>I want to know why they don't count the writing section of the SAT yet REQUIRE the writing addition on the ACT... makes no sense to me...</p>
<p>Apparently, some colleges are going to start considering equal treatment of writing next year. Dammit.</p>
<p>-770 (12 on essay) =/</p>
<p>the essay is pretty important, even thought the grading of it needs to be way less subjective. i got a 9 myself :/</p>
<p>"As a grammar nazi, though, I fully support writing MC. I think it should be made harder, though. We should start testing people on their hyphenation and tricky whoever/whomever usage."
LOL, i'm a grammar nazi too :D i never thought it would work to my benefit in life, but then the SAT writing came along...<33</p>
<p>*i never thought it would work to my benefit in life, but then the SAT writing came along...<33 *</p>
<p>Except for the fact that, you know, they don't care about it still. ;)</p>
<p>Which is why this thread was made. Colleges will see so many people led by such a good leader that they will change all of their decisions to help us.</p>
<p>I should really make a 12 essay thread...</p>

Grammatical dot the I's and cross the t's is stuff for elementary school, not an indicator for college success.

<p>This is precisely my point. Unfortunately, many students are leaving grade school without this knowledge.</p>
<p>an essay in 20 minutes, really? opponent.</p>
<p>Signed, as long as we get rid of that ridiculously subjective essay. I got an 11 on the essay by writing the most bare-bones, basic, repetitive, 6th-grade style essay I could manage. Sad? I think yes.</p>
<p>The first time I took the SAT, I got 800W/670CR/650M. Clearly, writing is superior to CR and M.</p>
<p>Agreed!</p>
<p>740 Writing.</p>
<p>Yep, agreed as well! It really ****es me off that the part I did best on is the "joke" section of the SATs, and that I still I have to take it anyway.</p>
<p>I got an 800.</p>
