<p>I was wondering what has worked for people on the improving sentences questions i.e. the 10 minute writing section and the first part of the really long section. Do you go straight to the underlined part and check what is underlined e.g. a verb, and then check subject verb, or a pronoun check if it's vague etc or do you read the sentence first and then check for grammar errors?</p>
<p>Also, I noticed when correcting my questions that some questions are classed as E as in Easy. What makes a question easy? Does anyone know?</p>
<p>Does anyone know how many questions you have to get wrong, generally, to know you've got a 700 and or a 750. I am not going for a 12 on the essay as I think this might be a bit difficult so what combinations will I need? </p>
<p>The relationship between the raw score + essay score and the writing score varies. It depends on the exam. The College Board normalizes the results so that they are statistically the same from administration to administration.</p>
<p>The first 3 exams in the Blue Book, as well as some other College Board sample exams, provide you with a the applicable table for that specific exam.</p>
<p>As an example, for the October 2012 test 1 writing error would have gotten you a score on the multiple choice part of the exam of “79”. Combined with the “average” essay score of 8 the aggregate writing score would have been 750. As I recall, an essay score of 11/12 on that administered exam would have gotten you an 800.</p>
<p>Thanks Fogcity, I just checked one of the practice exams in the blue book and the figures state that 4 wrong on the mc plus a 10 gives you a 730 overall. Im on a 730 at the moment, but somehow I need to break the 800 barrier which I am not sure how to do yet. </p>
<p>Since I know you are good with grammar, could you please check the question that I posted up relating to vague pronouns. </p>
