<p>Okay so I'm currently running over the writing section in Pinceston Review. But PR is doing a poor explination of what to do to get my score. So will someone please explain it to me, first let me explain...</p>
<p>Example: In section 5 I get 30 questions right and 5 questions wrong, then section 10 I get 11 questions right and 3 questions wrong. Total of 41 right and 8 wrong. According to PR I have to divide 8 by 4 and get 2 then subtract 2 from 41 and get 39 plus my Essay score 12 (haha hopefully) which will bring me to 51. </p>
<p>Here's when it gets confusing. PR has this whole other Subscore Coversion chart for just the multiple choice on the Writing section not including the Essay. So am i suppose to just take 39 and get the Grammar raw score then add the essay and then get my Writting Scale Score. </p>
<p>It's confusing me, please any explaination would be appreciated!!!</p>
<p>first off, PRinceton Review writing is MUCH harder than the collegeboard writing section and i dont recommend studying from it- it will only lead you to overthink writing quesitions on the SAT. </p>
<p>anyway, as for conversion- you take the number of q’s you got incorrect (not the ones you left blank) , let’s say u got 7 wrong, and multiply it by.25 . then u will get 1.75. you take the number of q’s you got right -let’s say 42, and subtract 1.75 from it. so 42-1.75= 40.25, or 40. go to the multiple choise subseciton score chart and find what 40 would be (probally somehting like a 670). if you want to find out what ur grade would be INCLUDING the sat essay u go to the full writing shart and find on the y-axis ur number(in this case, 40) and go across the x-axis to where u think ur essay is (let’s say ull get an 8 on the essay) and ull see what ur score would be of u got a 40 in multiple choice with an 8 on the essay- (probally like a 650). </p>
<p>also, remeber when u subtract # u got wrong from # u got right, round up. so if ur total as 34.5 or 34.75, go to 35. </p>
<p>hope this is clear</p>
<p>Okay Thanks delmonico… So how many questions would I have to get to have an 700 or a 750 or even a 800??</p>
