I was just wondering if a good score in writing will compensate for a lousy score in verbal and vice-versa.
Any opinions?
<p>it depends on how 'lousy' the lower score is... If you get 700 in one of them and 500 on another, admissions will wonder what happened... It just doesn't make sense.</p>
<p>also I find them to be very different tests. Verbal tends to test your vocabulary and reading comprehension skills while writing tests.. well your writing. I know a lot of students who have a great vocabulary and reading skills but cannot write/edit grammar for crap.</p>
<p>what if you get like 700+ for writing and say 400+ for verbal, will that make up for the bad score?</p>
<p>Is that possible? I think its more legit to have a 700+ score, a 4+ AP English score, and then, if you bombed the writing, then, I am pretty sure the adcom will suspect that you just freakin' had a bad test day. But I am not sure the 300+ difference between V and II is even a possibility. Eh! So, I have no idea!</p>
<p>thanks for all the replies...
anymore opinions?</p>
<p>So does anyone know if a "700+ for writing will make up for a 400+ in verbal sat1" ?</p>
