<p>I have the barron's SAT writing book and the conversion chart for the mc raw score and essay score seems to be off. According to their chart, if you get a mc raw of 40 and an essay score of 8, then you have a score of ~620. But if you get a mc raw of 39 with the same essay score then you have a score of ~740. Seems pretty ridiculous to me. This isn't how its really scored, right?</p>
<p>No thats not how its scored at all. Probably a mistake with the key.</p>
<p>No, that’s not right. I checked my BB and the difference is usually only about 10 points for a raw difference of 1 mark.</p>
