<p>hi guys
i got about 8 wrong on the MC for SATII writing practice... what essay score do i need to get 700+?
is the kaplan test book even accurate... i've heard of people getting 10s on the essay -4 on MC and getting an 800.... on the Kaplan test book this would equate to a muchlower score (about 740) according to teh chart on the back of their book</p>
<p>to get an 800 on the kaplan book you must get a 12 essay and -1 on the MC ??? is the curve really that bad on the actual test</p>
<p>seriously kaplan is horrible conversion chart...i took my previous score ont he real exam (610) and it converted to a 520 in kaplan. i've heard of people getting 8s and getting an 800 so yeah. kaplan is baaaaad conversion...but 8 wrong on the MC will get you:
8 on essay=670
9=700
10=730
11=760
12=790 (one MC from 800)</p>
<p>wow that is really sweet.......</p>
<p>and that's from the SAT II Reals, and they are off by about 50 points. so write a 10 and you got a 770+ almost for sure. I missed 21 MC and got an 8 for a 610. The curve is lax, very lax.</p>
<p>On the five Kaplan tests in their 2004-2005 book I got 11, 9, 10, 11, and 11 wrong respectively. So it IS possible for me to get an 800 on the test with a great essay, right?</p>
<p>yeah kaplans conversion is crap...add about a 100 to ur score for 620 and below, add about 70-80 for 630 to 680, add about 40 or whatever seems right after that</p>
<p>what i said is off a little bit...but know you need to add to your score from the kaplan chart. the higher your score the less you add, but I know you add at least 50-70</p>
<p>80 mult choice + 6 writing = 690
79 mult choice + 9 writing = 740</p>
<p>are those on the real SATII standardized test? and how many MC did you get right...u gaver your subscore...im assuming you missed 0 on the first one and 1 on the second one.</p>
<p>yea those are actual scores. im not sure exactly how many i got wrong, but it had to be around 3-4. the sat IIs offer more leeway for 800s than the SAT I. one wrong on the SAT I's something like 80 math question bumps you down to a 780</p>
<p>If I remember correctly, on the first Writing test I took, I missed at least 10 MC, scored a 9 on the essay, and got a 710. The curve is really generous; on the other Writing test, I couldn't have scored more than an 8 on the essay (it was horrible), but I got an 800.</p>
<p>I got an 800, but the 11 helped w/ the essay. Basically, practicing is about all you can do. I recommend Princeton Review.</p>
<p>wow thats sweet for 700. I omitted 6 on the writing test and i think i got a 10 essay - so that means that i did uber well on the MC, and i got like 20 wrong on practice. nice - cant wait to get my mailed score soon to see my essay and mc subscore</p>
<p>I took the Princeton Review writing class. Broke 700 on one practice test, and ended up with a 760 on the actual test. ;) There's really not that much to do - as long as you know what errors to look for in the multiple choice and write a decent essay, you can break 700.</p>
