<p>I was wondering how rare it is to get a perfect 800 (12 essay, 80 MC subscore) in the writing section of the SAT, as in no multiple choice wrong and a 12 essay (same sitting). I recently achieved this and want to know how impressive it looks to colleges--the ones that look at writing.</p>
<p>It is very rare. (I assume that less than 20 percent of those with 800 in Writing achieve this.) I do not expect, however, that colleges will view it materially differently than they would any other 800.</p>
<p>Silverturtle, you still planning on writing that ‘How to attack the Writing Section of the SAT Guide’? I’m looking forward to reading it.</p>
<p>^ I intend to write a comprehensive guide to the SAT (as well as some admissions topics) this summer.</p>
<p>I’ve gotten 800 on the Writing section three times now but I’ve never accomplished a “perfect Writing”</p>
<p>I’ve gotten
800 10 E
800 10 E
770 12 E</p>
<p>Does a “superscored” perfect writing count? haha</p>
<p>@masjenbu12: What did you get on the March SAT?</p>
<p>I just got a perfect writing score on the March SAT. I don’t think colleges can even see the individual writing subscores so it probably doesn’t matter.</p>
