<p>is there a corelation between ur SAT verbal score and ur writing score?
i got 600V (SAT1), on my third try... wut would a predicted writing score be for me, for my first attempt?</p>
<p>anyone who did both of the above?</p>
<p>There is a general correlation. Usually, good writers know a lot of words and understand how to piece sentences together, which helps them not only on the sentence completion and analogy sections, but also on the critical reading, because they are able to decipher the passages. The converse is similarly true. If someone is good at analyzing text and working with words, he is probably a competent writer. </p>
<p>750 verbal, 800 writing for me. You can expect between 550-650 on the writing test, depending on your individual strengths and weaknesses.</p>
<p>I agree with redbarn that writing and SAT verbal go together, but only to a certain extent. One may have a big vocabulary and be able to decipher passages without knowing how to actually write. He may have read a lot, thus, lending to his skills in SAT verbal, but he may not have written much, and the way to earn a high score on Writing is only by practicing writing.</p>
<p>So I think, chirag, what you'll get on your SAT Writing depends on your writing ability. Using SAT verbal score to gauge one's Writing score will not give a very accurate prediction.</p>
<p>I don't think there is much of a correlation, at least not in my case.</p>
<p>700 Verbal (I missed 0 sentence completion, 1 analogy, and 9 reading comprehension...)</p>
<p>700 Writing (12 on the essay, minus 19 multiple choice...)</p>
<p>I'm an excellent writer, but I always find myself losing focus while reading standardized test passages.</p>
<p>I think your dual-700s demonstrate a distinct correlation, despite your writing-strength/verbal-strength dichotomy.</p>
<p>770 Verbal for me and 790 Writing. I'd say the correlation is pretty strong. Basically everyone I know has a verbal score within 50 points of their writing score.</p>
<p>I'd say there's a great correlation between SAT I verbal and SAT II writing (770/780 for me). However, that's not to say that there's always a correlation between your scores and your true ability. Some people just can't perform that well under the time constraints and pressures of standardized testing.</p>
<p>i had a twenty point difference</p>
<p>I found that the verbal and writing are very different. The writing is governed by rules of grammar, and if you can learn just a few rules, you can greatly boost your score. The verbal, on the other hand, requires extensive knowledge of vocabulary and good reading ability. My vocabulary is relatively small, so my verbal score suffered as a result. My two test scores are: 770 Writing, 630 Verbal. So, in general, a correlation likely exists, but it's not impossible to break from this relationship.</p>
<p>I found the verbal test to be much easier. I suck at grammar, I suppose. 750 verbal, 700 writing. I retook the SAT I so I'm looking at about a 780+ verbal probably, and I'm sure if I retook the writing I won't do any better than 720 (unless I study).</p>
<p>I had a 740 verbal, 34 Englsih ACT, and 630 writing... it's most definately becasue I got a 5 on my essay becasue I kept gonig back and changing my essay- giving me mcuh less tiem to write a good essay... blah</p>
<p>I think the SAT I Verbal and SAT II writing test different things: SAT I is more reading comprehension; SAT II is more grammar and then, of course, you have to write. My son's scores were 720 SAT I, 800 SAT II writing - he found the SAT II in writing MUCH easier.</p>
<p>I think Writing is much easier.. 530 verbal 610 writing</p>
