<p>SAT II Writing is pretty different from new SAT writing. The curve is much more harsh on the new SAT writing. A 700 on the new test is meant to be about 95th percentile (although that data hasn't come out yet), while a 700 on the SAT II Writing was about 80th percentile. If you miss 5 and get a 10 on the essay, it would be a 710 on new SAT writing and approximately a 770 on SAT II Writing.</p>
