<p>Just got back my scores, like the rest of CC.</p>
<p>reading and math went up sufficiently (+50 M, +40 R), but writing went down 80.</p>
<p>my essay was a 6, and i'm a pretty-proficient writer, and i thought my essay was clear and concise (5 on AP english lang, and consistently impress teachers with my college/in-class essays).</p>
<p>i've noticed a lot of people advising others to not get a re-score, because it doesn't do much (but they were at 9's and 10's)..i think my essay could at least be a 9, so should i go for a re-score and how many points would i see my writing score increase by?</p>
<p>thanks</p>
<p>I got a 7 on my essay.
I am a highly competant writer. It is improbable that I would write such a poor essay.</p>
<p>I will not rest until College Board corrects my score or provides sufficient evidence to back up their claim. If necessary, I will pursue a lawsuit, though I hope it doesn’t come that. I would rather they give expedite the process and give me my correct score, so that I can be on my merry way.</p>
<p>If I am unable to submit a <em>valid</em> score to my first choice school in the next few days because of this mistake, mark my words, I will raise hell.</p>
<p>fail ■■■■■ is fail…but srsly</p>
<p>Why is it that you think I’m joking?</p>
<p>this isn’t my first time on the internet…</p>
<p>I got 9’ed on this essay, putting me JUST at 780 for writing. And I don’t get it. I really thought I did well with this, filling up both pages, ending on a positive note, and having time to spare to look over everything.</p>
<p>I had the “can high achievers benefit all society?” and I used Benjamin Franklin and Jonas Salk, quite possibly the most perfect examples possible.</p>
<p>You think a rescore might bump it up to a 10 and get me that 800?</p>
<p>i had the same problem. i got a 7 when i consistently got 10s-12s… but i heard they don’t regrade? does anyone know?</p>
<p>Only way is via ordering the rescore option for $50. Nothing else works - you could sit in front of CB’s office at Manhattan holding a sign stating ‘CB IS A SCAM AND I WANT MY ESSAY MARKS’ and it wouldn’t do a hell lot of difference. Be happy that you got your score already - tons of people are in the ‘Not yet available’ state.</p>
