SAT Writing section curve

<p>I got my online score report and it seems to me that the curve for writing is brutal. Could you post your writing raw and scaled scores so that we work out the curve?</p>

<p>Writing MC Raw score: 45
Writing MC Scaled score: 72 </p>

<h2>Essay: 8 (4+4)</h2>

<p>Writing scaled score: 700</p>

<p>I looked at the scale in the SAT Preparation Booklet and for such scores it gives a writing scaled score of 750 (!)</p>

<p>The curve was beyond brutal.</p>

<p>8 wrong
0 omitted
62 MC Raw Score</p>

<h2>8 Essay</h2>

<p>610 </p>

<p>Yeah, I'm just a tad bit upset about that...>_<. Better luck next time, I guess...</p>

<p>3 wrong
0 omitted
73 MC</p>

<h2>10 Essay</h2>

<p>740</p>

<p>***...I missed three questions on verbal and got a 780; i thought the writing curve was supposed to be more lenient. Whatever, hopefully the curve on the June test is better.</p>

<p>I was actually surprised by how much better I did on this Writing tast from when I took it in March.</p>

<p>In March, I missed 6, omitted 0, and got a 9 on my essay. I got a 680.
In May, I missed 4, omitted 0, and got a 10 on my essay. I got a 730.</p>

<p>Writing:</p>

<p>Number Right: 43, Number Wrong: 6, Number Omitted: 0, Total Number of Questions: 49, Raw Score: 42
Essay 8</p>

<p>650</p>

<p>Total questions: 49
Omitted: 0
Wrong: 5
Raw score of 43 correlated to a 70/80 MC
12 on the essay
740 on Writing section (btw what percentile do you think this will put me in?)</p>

<p>probably about 96, im guessing</p>

<p>Yea, I experienced the same shock after looking at my March score report. In March, I missed 5, got 10 on my essay (didn't know where to begin on the strange "creativity" topic), and received a 710. How can a couple of grammar mistakes out of 50 questions be so crucial in supposedly determining your writing ability? Thankfully, after doing some research, I've found that most colleges won't consider or will just glance at your writing score. The Critical Reading and Math are far more important (exceptions are probably the UCs, which will just plug all your numbers into a formula).</p>

<p>2 wrong and 0 omitted on the mc gave you a 75 subscore!</p>

<p>With an 11 on the essay, that was a 770...</p>

<p>4 wrong is a 69 subscore, that sucks ass</p>

<p>look at mine u will laugh
0 omitted
25 right
24 wrong
Essay 8
480</p>

<p>How come the curves differed so much between test forms? I don't think my writing section could have been that much easier than any others.</p>

<p>omitted: 0
incorrect: 7
raw: 40/49
essay: 11</p>

<p>680</p>

<p>6 wrong
2 omitted
essay: 11</p>

<p>690</p>

<p>damn</p>

<p>writing is so hard. i always get tricked. this is bad news. i got a 550 on the sat II writing.</p>

<p>77 out of 80 subscore
2 MC wrong
4+5 essay = 9</p>

<p>770 Writing</p>

<p>bloody hell; only 5 multiple choice questions separated a man from his dreams (aka. my scoring an 800 on the writing component)</p>

<p>The essays seem to be worthless.</p>

<p>1 wrong=78 MC subscore
+12 essay</p>

<p>=800 Writing</p>

<p>I don't see how 4 wrong goes all the way down to 69 on mine. If 2 wrong is a 77 that means there is an 8 point gap over the next 3 raw points. Seems a bit harsh.</p>
