<p>Is pretty insane. Today I finished grading my test and I got 4 wrong (my all time low!) and my score was a 670. </p>
<p>Anyone else feel that the writing curve is equally harsh as the math's curve</p>
<p>Yea man… I got -4 with a 10 essay for a 710. Usually, I always get 750+… :(</p>
<p>Mine was -3 and essay 12, but only 750.
It’s somehow even stricter than the math curve.</p>
<p>4 wrong for a 670? Where did you get that from? The collegeboard book?</p>
<p>I find that pretty hard to believe unless you got like a 6 on the essay.</p>
<p>Actually I didn’t score my essay, I got it that score only from the writing multiple-choice conversion chart (I added zero)</p>
<p>The score you get from JUST the multiple choice is usually less than what it would be if you added in the essay. The essay’s actually a large part if your writing score.</p>
<p>Still, the curve is HARSH</p>
<p>Well, it’s kinda like writing a level zero essay, getting all the MC right, and then expecting 750+. You totally bombed the essay, so in CB’s mind, you can’t do enough to deserve 750+. you seem pretty talented in writing, so just use a 5 when grading essays. It’s a pretty conservative number, considering you will do 10-12 on the real thing.</p>
