<p>i got 7 wrong on the mc and a 11, which came out to be a 680. someone i know did the same on a previous test and got a 730. i was just wondering what people's subscores and overall score on the writing sec was so please help me out and post what you got...</p>

<p>i think this post will be better served on the SAT/ACT forum</p>

<p>i actually put it up there first but they just seem like junior high schoolers and freshmen freaking out about the sats.</p>

<p>MY friends got</p>

<p>MULTIPLE CHOICE: 68</p>

<p>Possible score: 20-80.
MULTIPLE CHOICE SCORE DETAIL </p>

<p>Number Right: 44, Number Wrong: 5, Number Omitted: 0, Total Number of Questions: 49, Multiple-choice Raw Score: 43
ESSAY: 9</p>

<p>Possible score: 2-12. </p>

<p>Total:680</p>

<p>actually i just checked my sat score reports and.....</p>

<p>i got -7 and an 11 on the essay the first time i took it and got a 680 (April 06).</p>

<p>i got -4 and an 11 on the essay the second time i took it and got a 730 (October 06). </p>

<p>That should clear up something hopefully. As i'm sure you know, the tests are curved slightly differently from one sitting to the next, so your friend probably had a test that was slightly harder and therefore had a more generous curve.</p>

<p>oh and zero omissions both times</p>

<p>Ergo, everyone goes by scores/percentiles, not raw number of questions answered correctly.</p>

<p>It's generally like that for the Writing section; there's a rather harsh curve for SAT Writing. Here are my scores from all the sittings that I took, if you want a reference.</p>

<p>January 2006: missed 5, omitted none, 10 essay = 690
June 2006: missed 5, omitted none, 10 essay = 690
November 2006: missed 7, omitted none, 11 essay = 680</p>

<p>there's an even harsher curve for the math test. miss two questions and you're usually down to a 750.</p>

10

<p>i got 1 wrong on the MC with no omitted and a 9 on the essay, my score was a 770</p>

11

<p>Ya, I agree on the math. I missed 1 and omitted none and got a 780. So, how do you get a 790?? Does any one know??</p>
