<p>writing. my lowest score. annoying. i hate the subjectivity that comes with the grading of the essays.
the multiple choice for writing is easy though. they just need to remove the essay.</p>

<p>Though math was my lowest score, I prefer the old format of the test. And I hate the subjectivity of the essay (yes, I know they say they're objective... but human graders are <em>always</em> subjective when there's no specifically right/wrong answer)</p>

<p>I'd keep them all!! If it were the old test though, I'd have to get rid of the analogies. But now that they're gone, I'm good. :)</p>

<p>Ok, I know CR is hard, and the questions are stupid and all, but honestly, people really should be able to read! If you really read carefully, the answers are so obvious. It's just the short time allotment that makes it hard. </p>
<p>The fill in the blanks questions, however, are another story. The SAT is supposed to test how smart you are. Asking the definitions of a bunch of random words is pointless.</p>
<p>However, I do think that the writing section was a poor idea. That's why it should be removed. Especially the essay. what's the point? Luckily, many colleges do not consider the writing section...</p>

<p>While my lowest score was on CR, I believe it's a better indicator of intelligence and overall more useful than the writing section.</p>
<p>Writing...I was set before they made it....I'd be happy if it was just an essay...</p>

<p>I actually reached 97% on the PSAT Writing, and I think I did even better on the SAT, but I want it gone. The essay ignores differences in writing speed, and the rest could easily be added to the Critical Reading section.</p>

<p>I think it should be CR, because I find the entire section to be useless. Most of the vocabulary words that come up are so uncommon that they will almost definitely never serve a higher purpose in the lives of students taking the test. Another thing I really dislike about it is that it's really difficult to improve your score. It's not really something you can get better at, while you can definitely practice and get a better score in the math and writing sections. Some people simply aren't good at analyzing texts, and there isn't much they can do about it.</p>
<p>Everyone reads a story differently, and they form different opinions about what they read. In the SAT CR sections, someone might interpret the reading passages in a way that could cause him or her to choose the 'wrong' answer. Rather than encouraging diversity and the formation of different interpretations of literature, the SAT seems to point out that if you don't agree with what the makers of the test think of a particular passage, your opinion is incorrect.</p>
<p>I half-heartedly afree with nurjahan. CR actually does test a student's intellectual abilities. The section I absolutley abhor is writing. This section is absolute garbage and should be thrown out soon. The essay should be kept because that actually proves something.

<p>I don't think the essay really proves much of anything (in 25 minutes) because it hardly reflects reasoning abilities anymore. People study HOW to write the essay to the point where they don't have to think about it. It sort of defeats the sat as a "reasoning" test. I also seriously disagree with rockermcr about CR. For one, you CAN improve your score without too much work if you know what you are doing. Secondly, and more importantly, CR IS NOT BASED ON OPINION. I wish people would stop saying that. It isn't AT ALL about "interpretation" of the passage. Coming from someone with an 800, I now see no grey area in the questions and their answers. I did in the past, but now that I have improved, I realized how unbiased and objective the CR section really is. There really is only one answer and the other answers are all VERY wrong for one reason or another. On the other hand, I don't see how writing tests reasoning skills. All you have to do is memorize a list of writing rules and you're almost set. I do acknowledge the fact that there are some reasoning skills involved but it is mostly memorization of grammar rules and the essay is way to "study-able". Someone who is terrible at essay writing can get a good score with knowledge of what the test makers want and enough stratagies.</p>

<p>I -wish- that Math could disappear. I'm terrible at SAT math (620), yet have had an A+ in H math since 9th grade (and, no, my teachers weren't bad teachers/easy graders. Our math program is very good). But, obviously, this isn't realistic at all. The math section is very important, regardless of the fact that I hate it. =P</p>
<p>I would suggest getting rid of the writing MC and only having the essay. I agree that the Writing (MC) section doesn't test reasoning as much as innate ability/ability to memorize grammatical structures. If you do enough writing practice problems, it's easy to immediately answer them correctly. The essay tests "true" writing skills (sure, this section is a bit subjective, the time limit cripples many wonderful writers, and other arguments against it exist as well), and I think that it's one of the most important SAT sections. Writing ability is extremely important to colleges- think about how many papers students must write, regardless of their major.</p>
<p>So, my vote isn't against the ENTIRE writing section, because part of it is very important, but I obviously have to add a whole point anyway =)</p>
