<p>Hey Guys,</p>
<p>I was wondering how much the curve for writing changes. On the March SAT this year, I got a 650, but I only got 6 questions out of all the MC wrong, but an 8 on the essay. When I am taking practice tests from the blue book and scoring 8 MC wrong and assuming I get a 10, it says my score is all the way at 780, but obviously this wasn't the case. Any explanations?</p>
<p>Holy **** 8 wrong? No way man. If you get an essay in the two digit range, and like maximum 1 M/C wrong maybe 2…then MAYBE…you’ll approach a perfect score.</p>
<p>With 49/49 correct you can get a 8-9 on your essay and get an 800. With 48/49 (sometimes 47) correct and 11-12 you can get an 800. </p>
<p>With 8 wrong and a 10 essay you score ~700. (+/- 20 pts.)</p>
<p>If this was the case, I would be scoring 850s.</p>
<p>For me Iam always getting 72/80 in MC and Iam assuming i’m getting 8 in the essay , my W scaled score is 730 (( Blue Book )) .</p>
<p>When missing 6 you’d get a raw score of 42 and with an 8 essay, my blue book says that you would get get an exact 650.</p>
<p>I got a 700 on the June SAT, and I took a BB test yesterday and got only 5 wrong on MC and still got only a 700 with a 10 essay? Im assuming that a 12 essay will bump that to 800?</p>
<p>Last SAT I got -1 writing and a 6/12 on essay, so I received a 710.</p>
<p>It is looking like I got another -1 on writing so I am hoping for a double-digit essay. I know I did tons better on this essay because my first essay I didn’t even finish.</p>
<p>What you got sounds reasonable. On previous SAT, I got 670 with a 9 essay and -6. Essay does make a difference, try to aim for 11/12 so you can miss 1-2 and still get an 790-800.</p>
