<p>I guess there is really no way of telling how a college will translate the score. We'll all just have to wait and see.</p>
<p>No matter how they view it, a higher writing score always looks better than a lower one!</p>
<p>I know that but of all the sections to get a low score in I'm glad i got it in that one.</p>
<p>I'm still waiting for my scores on writing :(</p>
<p>how is it possible for you to have your other two scores but not that one?</p>
<p>Old SAT .......</p>
<p>I already have not-too-shabby scores for Verb and maths so all I need now is a writing score!</p>
<p>ahh, I'm sure you'll do fine. I got a 1340 on the old and a 2250 on the new</p>
<p>Still ... oh well.</p>
<p>I'm hungry :p</p>
<p>I took both SAT's...They are completely different...No translating old to new scores, just hopefully find a range....</p>
<p>Actually the college board has told colleges how to translate them.</p>
<p>IT HAS!!! WAIT...do you know if its "mathematical"??...i.e., the "multiply new scores by 2/3 to get old" or is it a different (hopefully more lenient) type of translation???</p>
<p>no it is not the 2/3 way. The critical reading is verbal, math is math, and writing is completely new (no one knows what to do with it yet).</p>
<p>so what did u mean by the collegeboard telling them how to translate?</p>
<p>translate the new SAT score into one comparable to the old SAT score. This is only important for our class because colleges will accept either test.</p>
<p>by our I mean class of '06</p>
<p>do u happen to know the formula??</p>
<p>i have written it three times:
"The critical reading is verbal, math is math, and writing is completely new (no one knows what to do with it yet)."</p>
<p>I was under the impression they would view the writing section like they viewed the old SATII writing.</p>
<p>you're probably right, that makes sense since they gt ride of the SAT II Writing.</p>
<p>no...i don't think so, which is why the collegeboard hasn't said the scores are comparable for writing...because they're not...i'm guessing that a score of X on SAT I Writing would be a score of X+20 or X+30 on SAT II Writing...</p>
