<p>You can only miss 2 on the grammar w/ a 12 essay to get an 800. On certain tests even that hasn't been enough.</p>
<p>stambilark what do u mean by on certain testst that hasnt been enough.. there isnt a fixed scheme or pattern or something like that.....?</p>
<p>On the writing section I had a 12 essay and 2 MC wrong; I got a 770 (insert bitterness here). </p>
<p>Not that I'm complaining, but it's the only section I did well on. And plus, I took it in June, and I know a student in May who got a 10 on the essay and 3 MC incorrect and got a 770 (Rgh)!</p>

<p>I guess I'm an exception (well, you did point that out). </p>
<p>2 wrong, 12 essay = 770 in June</p>
<p>I think colleges will look at the new writing section with some doubt. Georgetown won't even reognize it. If you have a good M+V score and your writing score is decent, I don't think you should worry all that much.</p>
