March 2009 Writing Curve?

<p>I got a 12 on the essay and 3 questions wrong and got a 760... but usually it seems that if u get 3 questions wrong and a 12 on the essay u can still get an 800.... not trying to be picky but my math and CR scores are much worse so I'm counting on the writing score. was the curve much tougher than usual?</p>

<p>Hmm, I think you can only miss 2 with a 12 essay to get an 800. Your score does seem harsh, though.</p>

<p>Do you mean three wrong before or after rounding? Because three incorrect questions rounds to -4 when you factor in the guessing penalty. That would make more sense.</p>

<p>the curve WAS pretty harsh,-4 and 9 on essay = 700,</p>

<p>did people find this section easy this month???</p>

<p>I thought it was relatively easy. There were some tricky grammar rules tested, but I didn’t think that there were any questions that were arbitrary or required judgment calls like there sometimes are.</p>
