Has anyone gotten a 12 on their SAT II Writing essay?

<p>Over30:
How's it possible to get 8 subscore and 800? (i'm not sure about how SAT II Writing score works)..
If I get 8 on essay, how many can I get wrong on MC to get around 730?</p>

<p>I got a 9 (stopped in the middle of the 3rd paragraph..haha) and 0 mc wrong, --> 800.</p>

<p>I got 5 wrong, 9 on essay- 780.</p>

<p>I missed 7 on the multiple choice but I got a 12 on the essay, barely giving me an 800. I mainly BS'd the essay with a few flowery words and fairly standard construction, my supports clearly supported the promp however. I basically made up personal experiences in order to make the essay work (I don't think being dishonest here matters at all--I would never lie on an actual admissions essay or anything).</p>

<p>Where do you see your essay score? Do you have to request it specially or something?</p>

<p>I got 9 on my essay, didn't use all the space...i did well on improving paragraph, and fairly well on improving sentence...but i got HALF wrong on the Id sentence errors....as a result i got 680. And the worst thing is 5 months later, the stupid id sentence errors is still screwing me over in practices.....GRRRRRRR</p>

<p>odysseus, when the Collegeboard mails you your score report (which they send everyone through snail mail), it breaks the test down - the essay score and your score per problem type ("ID Sentence Errors", "Improving Paragraphs," etc).</p>

<p>i'm takin the test tommorrow =...i think the lesson here is that u can write about anything you really want to, as long as it sticks to the prompt well and is good in terms of grammar and structure...lets hope i'm right. </p>

<p>I have a question though, would it be wise to link a book thats not really a popular novel or something in the essay (something recent maybe, or popular)?</p>

<p>I got a 10 and I don't remember how many MC wrong but I got an 800.</p>

<p>might be a little inappropriate, but how many MC can u get wrong to get a 750+ with a 10 or 12 essay score? </p>

<p>Also, is the kaplan book as hard/harder/easier than the real thing?</p>

<p>I hope the Kaplan is harder, I wasn't doing to well.</p>

<p>I got an 80 for the multiple choice and an 8 on the essay for a 780 in October...and I thought that I was a decent writer :( Maybe my mistake was writing about the U.S. Constitution?</p>
