<p>My SAT writing score is 660. Even the result is not the sad part. The subscores are. MC: 72 Essay: 6
I got a freakin 6 in the essay. I answered the question to the dot I feel, but I am a slow writer under timed conditions so I only did one whole page, did not continue to the second page. I used 2 examples though.
Will the essay score look bad to the colleges, I mean real bad?
I feel like digging a hole and burying my head in the sand (:
Brandeis, Reed, Lafayette, Amherst places I am applying, and I know Hamilton give a big deal to essays especially.</p>

<p>(CR 750, math 690).</p>

<p>Your other scores are good so don't worry. I wrote TWO WHOLE PAGES and only got a 9. I used like 5 examples. IDk why I got a 9. I thought it'd get an 11 or 10. I got 76 on the MC and got a 760. If I'd gotten a 10 I'd have a 780.... BUTTT if I'd gotten an 8 i'd have a 720.</p>

<p>What Reed says about SAT W:</p>

<p>"... we will examine the scores we see from the SAT's new writing section, the cornerstone of which is a 25-minute essay, knowing that Reed students will almost never encounter an analogous exam in a Reed class. ... we worry that the standardized and time-limited nature of the SAT essay will encourage a kind of artificial, mechanized, writing-for-the-test that seems antithetical to the reflective and analytical writing taught in a liberal arts curriculum. ... we further believe that good writing involves rewriting, something the SAT's 25-minute essay does not allow. ..."</p>
