<p>Getting an 800 on the writing section takes practice if you are not one of those lucky people who can naturally pick out the errors in sentences by a mere glance. Do alot (not a word) of practice tests, which will help you notice more and more which errors they frequently. If anything ever sounds the slightest bit awkward, it’s probably wrong, unless you can determine that’s it’s one of those obscure rules not followed in regular speech. Also you will notice how the right answer is not only grammatically correct, but also concise. Anything that spunds like it has no error deserves at least 3 more readthroughs to ensure NE. Also, if you find an error in each sentence, you are most likely getting a few incorrect, as I personally have never come across a writing section (practice or real) in which there was fewer than 2 No errors (many have 3 or 4). </p>
<p>Now, you can’t get an 800 in the writing section if you can’t write an essay, or write it well. Two years ago I got a 770 on W, with one omit (0 incorrect) on MC, but a 9 essay. So nce again, practice. Read up what they are looking for in the essay, the nuances (such as how the overall feel is very important), and the examples. Read actual 10-12 essays to gauge your own writing based on them. But don’t forget, you can do all the practice prompts in the world, but if you can’t go in there on test day and answer the prompt they give you…tough. </p>
<p>And remember: it has been said that the essay graders have about as much time to grade your essay as it took you to write the first two sentences.</p>
