<p>I missed 3 with a decent essay (9) and got a 710. omg. Just thought I'd throw that out there.</p>
<p>I missed 5 with a 12 essay and got a 740.</p>
<p>I do think it's a bit tough.</p>
<p>Yeah, you had a really awesome essay so you didn't suffer as much, but still. Another April test was 73 in writing if you missed 3. How harsh is that?</p>
<p>i missed 9 and had 11 on essay...........why is that a 660?
i would assume at least 690 or 680</p>
<p>I did surprisingly well...790...but then again, I had a 12 essay so...yeah...</p>
<p>i had 4 wrong with a 12 essay. that gave me a 790 =)</p>
<p>People focus way too much on the essay. It's weighted so insignificantly compared to the multiple choice. Case in point: I aced the multiple choice and got only a 9 on the essay: 800.</p>
<p>So basically, that's 30 points per multiple choice question.</p>
<p>I think those with great essays didn't have it bad, but if it wasn't stellar then the curve was harsh. Even so, discounting writing, just the fact that missing 3 gives you a 73/72 really gets me.</p>
<p>uhh how is 5 wrong with a 12 essay a 740 and 4 wrong with a 12 essay a 790? lol...</p>
<p>Two different tests - two curves.</p>
<p>Yeah--and I figure one test was reasonably more difficult from the score differences I'm seeing.</p>
<p>i only had an 11 essay with 79 multiple choice and i got an 800. </p>
<p>maybe i just lucked out.</p>
<p>i missed six with a 11 essay and got a 700.
yeah, about to jump off the roof.</p>
<p>uhm maybe im miscalculating something but i had a raw score of 69 (assuming that means like 9 wrong? is it less) and i had a 12 essay and it was a 740...</p>
<p>here is a perfect example, buddies.</p>
<p>i got 620 on writing last time with 61 multiple choice and 9 essay.
this time, i got 600 with 61 multiple choice and 8 essay.
MEANING: one essay score worths about 20 points.</p>
<p>on the Jan test i only missed 2 but got an 8 essay to end up with a 720
it is very stupid
i hate these SAT curves</p>
<p>I missed 8, got an 8 essay (wth.. so freakin low... i have no idea it was that bad) and got a 620. AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!</p>
<p>on any section, do not miss more than 5 if you expect above 720...IMO</p>
<p>Missed 1 with an 11 essay and got an 800.</p>
<p>missed 3 with 11 essay for 740</p>
