<p>I got a low score for my writing. 550 . The odd thing is that i studied for writing this time with a Barrons prep book, and in other last two test have not studied at all but recieved 580.! IT really ****es me off because i got lower for studying a prep book. Anyone else see this odd problem in writing? should i get it hand graded when it comes out?</p>
<p>You are not alone! MANY, MANY MANY for some reason sucked on writing. Either people did great or sucked. I wonder what happened.</p>
<p>i am so angry cause i studied this section a lot and thought i did much better, but i ended up doing worse! its seems odd because increased dramatically for math, but was lower one other sections even though i know i didnt study much on math. this is weird. shoudl i ask for a rescore and see what i get?</p>
<p>Yeah this is very weird. People are getting lower scores on writing than usual. Maybe the curve was very harsh this time.</p>
<p>Maybe since the writing section is so recent, the review books haven't really figured it out, and so all the people on this site who study a lot for SATs were misled? I could see them not being sure which areas of grammar to emphasize in the books at this point. I'm just saying that because I didn't study at all for the writing section (definitely did for math, so I've got nothing against review books, but I already had a writing 800) and I thought the writing test was easier this time around and got a better multiple choice score.</p>
<p>JP2249, I got a much higher score on my first taking of the real test in May. It's odd that there's a huge gap between my first score and second score for writing. I've been basing my disappointment with my Oct writing score on the comparison between it and my May one, not practice tests scores.</p>
<p>I spoiled my writing too. I practiced from the blue book and nearly got every correct in all their practice tests. I can't believe I got such a low score.</p>
