<p>I do well on the multiple choice questions, but I find it difficult to write an essay in 25 minutes. I was wondering how much the essay is worth in the overall writing score, and how high of an essay score is required to get a 700.</p>
<p>The essay score is 30% of the total writing score.</p>
<p>just to give you an idea i got 710 with a 7/12 (3 out of 6 from one reader, 4 out of 6 from another) essay and 1 multiple choice wrong, none omitted</p>
