<p>Yeah, that’s why most people’s lowest score is on the writing section? Okay…that sure makes a lot of sense. Check almost any college’s “applicant stats” and you’ll see that the majority of people score the lowest on the writing section. And even when it is not their lowest or even when it is in fact their HIGHEST, very few people actually get an 800 on it. Most get a 600s-range score on it. </p>
<p>Believe it or not, knowing and applying correct grammar, vocabulary, and writing skills is not something most people find easy. Seriously; I was an editor for my peer’s essays last year in AP English Language and Composition, and it was clear that even these AP students did not have a strong grasp on actual writing skills. </p>
<p>And if writing skills is supposedly just memorization, what do you call math? That is more rote memorization than any subject.</p>
