writing section score

<p>I was just wondering what is a reasonable scaled score for the writing section the SAT reasoning test if there are 6 wrong MC questions and the essay was a 8?</p>

<p>You're probably looking at a 650-680</p>

<p>how did you arrive at that?</p>

<p>with a 12 essay, how many mc can u get wrong?</p>

<p>2 or 3 i believe</p>

<p>to get an 800??</p>

<p>to post #2, no bro, it's never gona be 680. i'd say around 640-650</p>

<p>how do you guys arrive at such numbers? The books I've seen all suggest a higher score</p>

<p>My son, on the October SAT, missed 7 MC and made an 8 on the essay, and he scored a 630. So I suspect the 640-650 estimate is accurate.</p>

<p>last tiem i missed 7 got a 9 on my essay and i got 670
so i'm guessing around 650 -670?
but i heard for the november test, it was a lot easier so... curve might be harsher?</p>

<p>@hehe......: Yeah, totally agree with you. In the books that I've looked up, they also suggest a much higher score than Xcellerator reports. (most above 700, round 710). Ah yes, maybe as this test' writing is easy, the curve will become harsh :(</p>

<p>what books are u guys looking at ?lol i based my estimates on QAS tests.... which are fairly consistent throughout the yrs...</p>

<p>McGraw Hill, for example!</p>

<p>How bout a 9 Essay and 4 wrong on MC?</p>

<p>i got that for oct ^ 690 lol,</p>

<p>Wow that would be really @#$@#$# cuz I took it *for * the writing, and I got 690 last time (9 essay, -5 MC).. sorry but how bout a 9 essay and -2MC?</p>
