<p>Does anyone know how the writing affects the combined english section score? Does it at all, it hasn't for me... and I wrote a 10 both times I took it.</p>
<p>bump I’m confused.</p>
<p>I don’t believe it does. I scored a 26 on the combined writing and a 25 on the english. So I don’t think the writing affects the english.</p>
<p>there is a combined english/writing score. there is a table on the web site somewhere, but basically it just combines your essay score with your score on english. for example, i got a 35 on english and wrote a 9 essay, which gives me a combined english/writing of 32. most of the time this score will be lower than your english score, unless you write a 12 essay.</p>
<p>luckily it’s a very arbitrary score and no one really cares about it. don’t spend time thinking about it.</p>
