Is this weird?

<p>Hi was just wondering, for SAT in october 2009, i got -3 MC for writing and 8 on the essay, this translates to only 680?, it seems kinda low, was a mistake made or smth?</p>

<p>Seems about right to me.</p>

<p>on that same exact test (oct 09) i got -2mc and 8 essay and i got 730</p>

<p>yeah, seems right</p>

<p>Makes sense. If you don’t do well on the essay, your score drops A LOT.</p>

<p>All the curves on the SAT are usually harsh even when “generous”, its one of the reasons why it’s usually hard to do well.</p>
