<p>Hi everyone, </p>
<p>I did not study for the writing because I had so much work in my school. Today I found out I recieved a 730 in writing. DO you think this is a good score? Should I retake for higher since I never studied for it. I prefer not to retake it because I initally thought I would recieve a 500. Thanks</p>
<p>I think a 730 is a good score. I got a 740. I mean, it's percentile doesn't look so great (70%) but remember its only nerds that take it.</p>
<p>610 and I am ok with my grade, even though it didn't reach my expectation of 650.</p>
<p>Actualy Choco the percentile was 86%. Does yours say 70?</p>
<p>oops yeah mine was 86% too.</p>
<p>I was thinking of my math IIc percentile... I got a 740 on that also. THAT was 71st percentile. :(</p>
<p>where does it say what percentile it is?</p>
<p>I got a 680 but I'm taking it again. I just bombed the essay, I know it. I'm shooting for a 750+ in December.</p>
<p>umm go to the registration page. itll have all your old scores and youre new ones complete with percentiles.</p>
<p>anything less than 750 = retake. no question about it.</p>
<p>730 not happy about it .\ /.

<p>avanex20, it all depends upon what type of college you aspire to go to. If you're aiming for the Ivy Leagues, I would recommend retaking, especially since you didn't study thoroughly and the potential to raise your score is just tremendous.</p>
<p>I got a 700 writing - 78%. That is a very good score for me on writing - on Barrons MC I was getting 25 wrong, so that is a great improvement for me! And I omitted 6 on the real thing, so I guess they loved my essay and I did well on the MC as well! w00t!!</p>
<p>Seriously, I was expecting like a 600.</p>
<p>Yeh Crypto I know how you feel. I think I skipped like three on the writing test and I thought that my MC was a disaster. I am guessing I got an 11 or 12 on the essay which I felt was pretty good. I dont think I can retake it though because I still have to retake the SAT I. I think im happy with this score. :)</p>
<p>730 is an excellent score, in my opinion.</p>
<p>I think alot of people have good scores on these standardized tests; we just have really high expectations. Plus they've gotten more competitive, and people always want to "beat the system" anyway. But 730 is still great!</p>
<p>790... meh... i was expecting a 700ish score, so this was a pleasant suprise, but.................... so close yet so far....</p>
<p>i studied so much for the oct writing test and got a 710...it turned out that i got an 8 on my essay which i sooo wasnt expecting. itook it over in nov without studying more and got an 800 so u should definitely retake it if ur not happy cuz a lot of it depends on who reads ur essay and just wht qs u get</p>
