<p>So in March I got an 800 on writing with a 79 (-1) MC and 10 Essay. Supposedly this also got an 800 on the May test.</p>
<p>Is it common for minus one MC and a 10 essay to get an 800? Also, how many typically can you get wrong with a 12 essay to get an 800? And what is the difference between a 10 essay and a 12 essay?</p>
<p>My friend, who took the May test, got an 800 Writing with -1 MC and 10 essay. I think -1 MC with a 10 essay will get you 800/790. With a 12 essay, -1 and sometimes -2 is 800. The difference between many of the 10 and 12 essays that I have read is that the 12 essays better connect their examples to their thesis, demonstrating exactly how their examples are relevant.</p>

<p>Wrong thread, Aj1993 XD</p>
<p>oops

<p>June curve was 20 points harsher than average :(</p>
<p>in general -1 w/ 10 should be about 790. with a 12 essay, a -1 and -2 can still give you 790-800</p>
<p>I got -1 MC with a 10 essay and scored 780.</p>
<p>I got this:</p>
<p>Writing 780
mc 77
Essay 10
-1</p>
<p>MC 74 (2 wrong)
ESSAY 8
710</p>
<p>I got an essay score of 8 (I didn’t even finish my essay, so I’m satisfied) and missed only one on the multiple choice and got a 740. Man, if I had only practiced writing essays before the test, I could’ve gotten an 800. Me sad. ;(</p>
<p>man, the june curve was harsh!</p>
<p>Got 1 wrong MC=77</p>
<p>77 MC, 9E=770</p>
<p>almost as much off per MC as the PSAT</p>

<p>May I ask how you studied for writing? I would appreciate your input.</p>

<p>@GreedIsGood: thought you scored 2400?</p>

<p>For writing I reviewed all the major grammar rules tested on the writing section with my review book. I also took 8 bluebook practice tests before my first SAT and another 1 for the second SAT.</p>
<p>Sorry guys, my bad. 11 essay and 1 wrong on multiple. Everyone else is bragging, so I might as well.</p>
<p>I got -1 and an 11 essay and got an 800. I was surprised, I thought that I did much worse right after the test.</p>
<p>ugh i got -2 and a 10 essay and that dropped me to a 760…</p>
<p>Alright so my essay is being graded by hand since it was in ink and my score wont come out for like 3 more weeks. I got a 510 on writing with a zero on the essay when it was initially graded. i got a multiple choice score of 62. What do you guys think i will get in the section once they factor in my essay if i was to get an 8,9,10 on the essay.</p>
