<p>Thank you 
Damn, that writing section must really trip a lot of people up.</p>
<p>^ Yeah. I believe the Writing section has the fewest 800ās.</p>
<p>Ok, Iāll try to forget about it for now. May Iāll be pleasantly surprised come January.</p>
<p>Got a 790 on writing</p>
<p>And I would have had an 800 too, if it werenāt for you meddling Educational Testing Services and your STUPID essay!</p>
<p>The essay just sucksā¦lol</p>
<p>@Silverturtle</p>
<p>That makes me feel so special:) (I cherish the only 800 I have)</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Actually, I believe itās by citizenship, as in youāll qualify if youāre an American citizen living long-term abroad (and who might have taken the test abroad); similarly, you wonāt qualify if youāre living in the U.S., took the SAT/ACT in the U.S., but do not hold U.S. citizenship (ex: permanent residents).</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>It varies by state. I donāt know how accurate this is, but I googled the thread from last year and someone claimed to have gotten in with a 1510 from Nevada. Someone else was said to have gotten Presidential Scholars with a 1490, didnāt mention the state. ACT score of 142 made it in Missouri. So donāt immediately give up if your SAT/ACT score is less than 1600 :).</p>
<p>
I wouldāve thought that was CR.</p>
<p>
I thought the exact same thing in May, when I got a 790 with a 49/49 MC (because of a 9 essay.)
Then in June I got an 800. 
If you can get a 790 once, you can get an 800 without further studying. Itās mostly a matter of luck there.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>CR is a bit more common, and Math is the most common.</p>
<p>^Ah I see. Math is definitely the easiest section. Perhaps I just find CR to be insanely difficult for subjective reasons (it being the only section I didnāt reach an 800 on 
)
Personal vendetta type thing.</p>
<p>P.S.: Your guide was excellent. The writing part in particular should help literally anyone get an 800 :D</p>
<p>^ Thanks. Did you get the latest version? When did I send it to you?</p>
<p>I got it yesterday. I read through most of it, but skipped a bit of the CR.</p>
<p>Edit: I have to add that I was impressed, in particular, by some of the type of errors you included (which I havenāt seen in any practice books) such as the correct pronoun use for gerunds and the ambiguous antecedents and such. Iām sure your guideās going to be much appreciated by CCers :)</p>
<p>And when is this magic guide being released?</p>
<p>Honestly, I think the guideās writing section includes everything thatās on the SAT and more. With the guide, not only can you get a 800 on writing, you can impress your English teacher and **** off your friends by correcting every grammar error you find in what they say.</p>
<p>^Iām already guilty of the latter. My friends probably hate me for that :D</p>
<p>So am I. Thatās why I come onto this site, so that I donāt go crazy seeing grammar/spelling errors on Facebook all the time.</p>
<p>Two things:</p>
<ol>
<li> The score that they base this off of is NOT a super-score, correct?</li>
<li> When is the latest you can take the SAT to be considered for the award?</li>
</ol>
<p>
</p>
<p>Correct.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>October I believe.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Not sure yet. I am waiting to hear back from several reviewers that I sought out.</p>
