<p>i truly think that the writing section is graded by temp workers, not anyone founded in english or for that matter any scholastic merit.</p>
<p>when i took the sat's, the essay scores never seemed to match up to what the person got on the rest of the test, or how they did through school. people who have never gotten less than a 5 on an AP test were getting 6's and people who were in regular english struggling to get a B were getting 8's and 9's. </p>
<p>i went into the test wondering if a more basic style of writing is favored in the test because of who is reading the essay. i wrote a very simplistic essay, made up; 3 ancient societies that did not exist, a historical quote that was also false, and connected this to a life experience that did not happen. </p>
<p>everyone that i talked to said that i would be lucky to get a 5, i got a 12. to me furthers the incompetence of the CB</p>
