<p>On essays, absolutely not. It's about the quality of your writing. I did NOT write to the end and I only used ONE example and elaborated on it. I got a perfect 12.</p>
<p>I didn't take it yet, it comes next month for me, but it wont be hard to top my school. This one kid was bragging "I got a 1990, I got a 1990!! Woohoo!"</p>
<p>WAIT HOLD THE PHONE--next Satuday, 12 Days!? CRAP!!! I don't want to take this freaking thing..I wish they could just attach a device to your brain and it would put down the answers your brain would put...get it?</p>
<p>What score were you hoping for?
Around an 1800. It's my first time taking the test with moderate studying. Essay? Around a 10 at least. I'm a good writer.</p>
<p>What did you get? 1840. Essay? 7. I messed up big time this time b/c I didn't finish. I should've (and I know I could've) done so much better.</p>
<p>Retake? Yes. I'm aiming for 1900+ later next time.</p>
<p>yeah i did a lot worse than i thought: 205 (best at school, but a 400-student rural campus with a 11% dropout rate isnt a hotbed for competition).
i mean 205 vs. 213 isn't a big difference, but still</p>
