Nasty Writing Curve in March? Let's Make one!

Test Preparation
1

<p>Hi everyone, the SAT score reports are in!</p>

<p>I was disappointed with my 710 writing score, but I found I didn't do that poorly. I got 43 out of 49 in MC and 10 on essay. When I examined the curve on the collegeboard book, it states the range of "670-800". Did you guys think the curve was steep after, say two wrong? Let's try to construct how the writing curve was! Out of a possible 73 points (essay + MC), I scored 63 to get 710. So, this is what I have so far.
73-800
63-710</p>

<p>80 - 800, sorry that doesnt help... :(</p>

3

<p>Got a raw score of 27 and an essay of 8, so 35?</p>

<p>35 - 540</p>

4

<p>I think the writing curve was a bit harsh. I missed 6 questions, making my raw score 42.</p>

<p>MC subscore was 68. I guess I'm of no help, but oh well.</p>

<p>Hopefully, other people will help us with the curve, I would also like to find out how much CB decided to torture us.</p>

<p>ABSURD CURVE!
I got 3 wrong on multiple choice, ommitted 0, for a subscore of 73? I got a 12 essay, and got a 770. I don't think like 1 or 2 multiple choice questions should penalize me more than writing a worse essay</p>

6

<p>I got 4 wrong. 44 out of 49. </p>

<p>71, scaled Grammar.
10, essay.</p>

<p>64 total - 720.</p>

7

<p>Ok... This is weird. I took the January SAT II writing and here's the breakdown:
4 wrong and none omitted out of a total of 60 questions - don't know how this happened though - subscore of 80
10 essay - subscore of 75
800 score overall
What is going on with the College Board?
I really really really do not want to take the new SAT.</p>

<p>oh ***......</p>

<p>it seems as if the curve for the old SAT II Writing was much higher than the new SAT I Writing....</p>

<p>I got 5 wrong on the multiple choice, a 70 out of 80 on the Multiple choice section and a 11 on the essay.</p>

<p>Overall score.......730??</p>

<p>I wish they would count the essay for more than just 30%...</p>

<p>My sister took the SAT II writing in January and ended up with a 780. She got a 10 on her essay and i think missed five. She ended up with a 780.</p>

<p>She took the new SAT in March. In the writing section, she again got a 10 on her essay, and missed four questions. She got a 720 this time!!!</p>

<p>Fortunately most of the college's she'll apply to accept the highest from old and new tests combined.</p>
