Essay weight?

<p>Hey, I have a couple questions about the essay and I figured this is a good place to ask.</p>

<p>1: What's the lowest you can get on the essay if you get all of the multiple choice questions right and still get an 800?</p>

<p>2: What's the most questions you can miss while getting a 12 on the essay to get an 800?</p>

<p>Not sure about exact answers to your questions but the essay is about 30%. Someone on here got 80 subscore for MC and 8 on the essay, and got 760.</p>

<p>Hopefully that helps a little bit.

<p>80 out of what? =p</p>

<p>Usually the curve is like this.</p>

<p>With a 12 essay
-0=800
-1=800
-2=800
-3=800
-4=780</p>

<p>With an 11 essay
-0=800
-1=800
-2=800
-3=780</p>

<p>With a 10 essay:
-0=800
-1=800
-2=780</p>

<p>With a 9 essay:
-0=800
-1=780</p>

<p>With an 8 essay:
-1=780</p>

<p>MC range from 20 to 80
so an 80 would mean you got all the multiple choice right.</p>

<p>Thanks, that was just what I was looking for.</p>

<p>Guess it's time to work on that essay then...</p>
