<p>Someone on this forum got a 770 for writing section with a 8/12 essay... What the heck? I mean that's like a D+. Someone else got a 780 with a 10/12 essay and 1 multiple choice wrong. Is there a HUGE curve for low essay scores?</p>
<p>I think the essay only counts for, like, 30 % of the writing score... I got a 12 and 2 MC wrong and wound up with a 790.... a friend got a perfect on MC but a 9 on the essay and got an 800</p>
<p>I got a 770 on the SAT II Writing with a 8/12 on the essay, 80 subscore on the MC. The essay only counts for roughly a third.</p>
