Perfect 800 Writing Scores SAT I

Test Preparation
1

<p>How many can you miss on the multiple choice section and still get an 800 on the writing section? I just took the practice test CB offers to print out and missed 7. But two weeks ago I took the CB Test #8 and missed only 3! Would that qualify for an 800?</p>

<p>It must obviously go with your essay though. So does it breakdown similar to this:</p>

<p>Essay / MC
12 / (-3)= 800
11 / (-2)= 800
10 / (-1)= 800
9 / (-0)= 800</p>

<p>Also any tips on improving writing scores. Probably the most helpful tip I've heard is to get rid of sentences with "being?"</p>

<p>On the Oct test, I got 11/-1 and that was 790.</p>

<p>Wow that seems like a harsh curve! I saw that a lot of people on the Nov. SAT got a 800 with essays with 9's and 10's. The 10's had less than perfect raw scores...like 78!</p>

<p>P.S. any tips on how to get -1 and an 11?</p>

4

<p>I got 11/-5 and it was a 710. (Oct. test)</p>

5

<p>11/-3 in October for 740.</p>

6

<p>I think they weigh multiple choice a lot more than the essay because I got a 10/80 in November and I got an 800.</p>

<p>@chillaxin: Any Indentifying Writing Errors Tips? Thanks!</p>

<p>I could really use the help; 8 days left!!!</p>

8

<p>Get the Barron's ACT book and review their English section on grammar. It's seriously a lifesaver.</p>

9

<p>ACT? Is it the same?</p>

10

<p>It's basically the same grammar rules being tested, but all the SAT books I saw barely went over the grammar rules and the Barron's ACT book goes really in-depth with it so you understand it a lot better than if you read say, the Blue Book or PR's SAT1 book. I would review an actual SAT book for the writing also, but the ones that I saw had at most about 10 pages on it.</p>

11

<p>Yeah MC is much more important. I got a 800 with 80 MC and 9 essay. Last May I got a 770 with 80 MC and 8 essay.</p>
