<p>That would be 770-780.</p>
<p>If the Writing question that I probably missed was an experimental one, I may have got all the MC questions right (on the whole test). Alas, my fate might be in the hands of the essay graders.</p>
<p>^ I’d be surprised if your essay didn’t earn a double-digit score. I had an 8 as a sophomore taking the May '09 SAT, and my essay was so short that it barely exceeded one page, lol. Plus, I didn’t really use any historical/literary examples.</p>
<p>I’m still saying 800 CR 800 Math and ~770 Writing unless I got a 12 on the essay and no more MC wrong.</p>
<p>…so very likely. hehe.</p>
<p>man, you guys are geniuses lol.</p>
<p>This was my first time taking the SAT and I think I’m looking at around a 1900.</p>
<p>I only used one literary example and one anecdotal example.</p>
<p>The dropoffs from 8 to 10 to 12 are pretty pronounced here: <a href=“College Board - SAT, AP, College Search and Admission Tools”>College Board - SAT, AP, College Search and Admission Tools;
<p>silverturtle–I used 1 literary and 1 historical/societal example.
Two developed examples are definitely better than 3 not-so-developed ones.
In fact, it may be more beneficial to use two rather than three, because you may not be able to develop all three properly in the space/time allotted.</p>
<p>Well, if what you say about the Writing is really correct (-1 MC and 11-12 essay), then an 800 looks pretty possible for me too. 
</p>
<p>800 M + 800 W + 760-780 CR (assuming that the 2 or so objections I had to the list of answers were all wrong) = 2360-2380</p>
<p>12 essay and -2 MC is 800 I think, so if I’m lucky I can get that 2400.
Hahaha. Not. </p>
<p>With my luck, something on that CR list is wrong.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>I beg to differ. I often think I’m the one who has horrible luck. 
So I’m just going to assume that everything that differs from the answer list is wrong. Wait a second, I just realized that I don’t agree with FIVE answers, even though I know for sure I got two of them wrong (no disputing those), and the jury’s still out on the other three… </p>
<p>Better hope for a 730-760 at worst then… (730 being the score if this CR has a harsh curve, 760 if it has an easy one)</p>
<p>Ah well. I’m still really happy about Math, because that’s usually my weak point 
And Writing, too.</p>
<p>If I got all writing multiple choice questions correct, what’s the lowest essay score I can get to get an 800. What do you guys think about the rumor that if you fill both pages, there’s 90% chance you’ll get at least a 10?</p>

<p>Sometimes even a 9 will do the trick. </p>
<p>
</p>
<p>It’s not far from the truth. There’s even been a study done at MIT that shows a positive correlation between essay lengths and scores received.</p>
<p>I think that it’s pretty true, as long as you didn’t write complete BS and had somewhat good details and depth.</p>
<p>Based on today’s curve, can someone please tell me around what score I would get?</p>
<p>CR: -3 raw (-4 with penalty included)
M: -1 :[[[[[
W: -1 with a 10 essay</p>
<p>Cr: 760/770
m: 770/780
w: 790/800</p>
<p>got pwned by essay so no comment on writing(700 last time with essay 8…always wrote incomplete essays on SATs…not even close to finishing this time; spent 18min on outlining. being too thorough-==- excessive stupidity)</p>
<p>ma 800 (unless i bubbled wrong (like i did in psat…))</p>
<p>cr f!!! i thought it was easy but i made stupid mistakes HERE and THERE. probably ending up w a 690 with 8 wrongs and 0 omits! if only i could get 2 of them right…my cr would be 720</p>
<p>i hate those X90-ish scores!!! 690 is just 0.4 question(s) away from 700+ yet it looks so much more hideous.
and i got 790 on my sat physics too!!<br>
my least favourite number is 9 for now.</p>
<p>if only i could concentrate more…</p>
<p>This is quite hard to predict but i guess i’ll give it a go</p>
<p>CR 730-750 (4 wronggg)
MA 800 (if i havent made any silly mistakes)
WR 700-730 (essay 10-12, i forgot my answers to the MC questions, but im certain i’ll get 4-5 wronggg)</p>
<p>Wow, I just realized I seriously messed up on CR.
Math - 770 (-1)
Writing - 800(11-12 essay, -1)
CR - 500 -740 (on the scientist passage I may have skipped the 1st question by accident, and if that’s true, then all my questions for that passage may be wrong. (-11/-12), best case scenario is -4 raw points.</p>
<p>Best Case:
CR: (-4 raw) 750
M: (-3 raw) 740
WR: (-4 raw,10 or 11 essay) 740
Total: 2230</p>
<p>Do these seem about accurate? Do they correspond about correctly in a best case scenario?</p>
<p>@lakersfan72
CR: -4 = 770
M: -1 = 780
W: -1 with a 10 essay = 800
total: 2350
obviously it might be somewhat above/below these estimates.</p>
