<p>I’m going to go ahead and be optimistic:
M: 790+
W: 790+
CR: 790+</p>
<p>^ Every happiness to you.</p>
<p>worried about my essay, i know i got a perfect on the W MC, but an 8 essay could drop me to a 780 or so… ugh… and btw i think many people will be surprised when they get their math scores: there won’t be many 800’s bc many people read some controversial questions incorrectly/did them wrong… we ll c</p>
<p>CR: 600-650
Math: 620-670
Writing: 600-750 (depends on how my essay went)</p>
<p>Max: 2070
Min: 1820</p>
<p>^ haha a 150 point difference solely based on the essay??</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>That’s right. I only wrote one example for the essay. Albeit it was pretty well developed and took over 3/4 of the first page and 1/4 of the second. If I’m lucky, I’ll get a 10. If I’m not, then I’ll definitely get an 8.</p>
<p>trust me, the difference bw an 8 and a 10 will not be 150 points… but i feel the exact same way as you, I wrote one long example that took up the same amount that urs did, then only had 5 min left and squeezed in a personal anecdote and a conclusion … finished about 4 lines from the bottom… im just hoping for a 9 bc that and an 80 MC should be an 800… but i feel like my essay was crap and deserves an 8</p>
<p>but hopefully the great vocab i used, the lack of grammatical errors, variety of sentence structure, and coherence should be enough for one grader to give me a 5… i just don’t know if i developed my examples well enough (definitely didn’t on the second one) and if my critical thinking was “strong” (5) or “competent” (4)</p>
<p>What controversial questions in math are you talking about Silence? I recall the section being rather straightforward.</p>
<p>^Let’s not discuss questions on this thread. There are three other threads for that purpose. = )</p>
<p>Anxious for scores. First time taking it and hoping for 1300+/1600</p>
<p>twi days left</p>
<p>1 day twenty hours and 35 min. am i the only one who thought i wrecked the essay? lol i used a world example two us history examples and a current example all developed well bringing them together in an allegory that i think was good and ended exactly on the last line.</p>
<p>You guys are thinking way too much into how the essay readers will read into your essay. Those graders spend 2-3 minutes tops on each essay, they’re not going to rhetorically analyze every sentence of your essay.</p>
<p>I hope they don’t read into it too much…two more days!!</p>
<p>“they’re not going to rhetorically analyze every sentence of your essay.”
That is what I hate about the SAT essay.</p>
<p>Well the SAT readers won’t have time to look out for your syntactical strategies, your diction, or your other rhetorical strategies that you implement in your essay. I read somewhere that they read your essay in under a minute.</p>
<p>I read on their website that they only get 2 minutes per essay. I wonder how they can give us a solid assessment in that small amount of time.</p>
<p>Agh…about 36 hours to go!</p>
<p>^They don’t, really. I know valedictorians/aspiring writers who get 3s and 4s on their essays, and skater delinquents who get 5s and 6s. (Intensely stereotypical hyperbole is completely intentional.)</p>
