Jan SAT, writing: please post !

Test Preparation
1

<p>I have a confusion about my score, so I wanted to see if the curve was really that harsh...</p>

<p>please post</p>

<p>how many mc questions u missed</p>

<p>essay score</p>

<p>and you score out of 800...</p>

<p>I missed 2, 10e, and got 750... does this seem correct?</p>

<p>It does make the difference btw. 2100 and 2200 for me</p>

2

<p>It does seem right. Last June I got 3 wrong and a 10 Essay and got a 700. Writing is a tough scale</p>

3

<p>I also took the January test. I got a 780 with 2 wrong and a 12 essay.</p>

4

<p>USA Test
Missed 1 - 750 MC subscore
10 essay
780</p>

5

<p>USA test as well-
-1 MC (75) + 10 essay
770 total… </p>

<p>why are some people’s scores higher? ^</p>

6

<p>Also took the USA test, got -1 MC (75 – it’s like the PSAT curve all over again! :frowning: ) and 10 on the essay, resulting in a 770. It seems like lots of folks got 750 or 770s on Writing and/or 730s on CR lol</p>

7

<p>USA test. 75 MC (-1) and an 11 essay got me a 790.</p>

8

<p>

</p>

<p>Not so many actually. For all of 2012 approximately 20,000 college bound students got 750 or higher on SAT writing. That’s out of 1,600,000 students.</p>

<p>So take all the super selective colleges and determine the number of spaces they have for incoming freshman. Surely many incoming freshman were accepted with writing scores below 750.</p>

<p>A score of 750+ is pretty good, and indeed not that common.</p>

<p>This is in comparison to the October SAT, where I got:
-2 MC (76/80)
9 Essay
760</p>

<p>January Writing had a very difficult curve</p>

11

<p>Agreed. I had -1 MC and 8 Essay (yes, I know, it sucks) and 720.</p>

12

<p>75 MC (1 wrong, 0 omitted) 9 Essay = 760 (Jan 26th USA)</p>

<p>Hi, I know this is late, but I got a 68 MC subscore and only answered three questions incorrectly. My essay was awful (a 7). Does this make sense? </p>

<p>Thanks!</p>
