Why was my writing so low?

Test Preparation
1

<p>So I got 44 correct and 5 incorrect</p>

<p>9/12 essay</p>

<p>I got a 680</p>

<p>on the may 2nd SAT</p>

<p>shouldn't this be like a 720-760?</p>

<p>anyways... im pretty annoyed about this because i have a friend that got 40 correct and 9 incorrect with a 9/12 on the essay and got a 670...</p>

2

<p>Did you and your friend take the test on the same date?</p>

3

<p>I received an uncharacteristically low score as well.</p>

<p>I answered a total of three written problems incorrectly and got an eleven out of twelve on my essay, but I still only made a 740.</p>

<p>It is incredibly disappointing, and I don’t really understand how the scoring/curve can be so horrible.</p>

4

<p>Well I got 2 wrong and 10/12 and got 770.</p>

<p>Just for comparison</p>

5

<p>1 Wrong, 11/12= 800</p>

<p>Sucks for you guys haha</p>

6

<p>hmm looking at the above two scores I’m somewhat curious why getting 2 wrong and an 11/12 on the essay got me a 770</p>

7

<p>I got 3 wrong 9/12 essay 700, so dont worry the curve was bad for everyone. I don’t think it was warranted for the curve to be this harsh though :frowning: would’ve got 740 on a another date with the same performance</p>

8

<p>well, I also took the sat in may… 0 wrong, 9/12 and 790…
Your score does seem very harsh; however, i read that the multiple choice questions were easier than normal so i guess they penalised you for that…
I myself got two wrong in math, and a 760…</p>
