Wow.. this is an old post (second to last
 )Ok.. all I'm seeing (at least in the recent posts) is that a. there's ppl in favor of it because they write well and perform well on the test (Minda don't show off..  )b. there's ppl that hate it because they dont earn good scores.. I personally just dont like the fact that its scored out of 6 yet its worth 800 points.. so if you miss 1/6, you miss over 100 points... Anyways.. its absolutely necessary because let's face it.. no matter how strong you are in other areas.. (ie. as science/math/history), you're going to need to be able to communicate with people.. to be able to write One of the few exceptions would be in athletics.. unless you're interested in playing pro sports, writing is going to be necessary in your future.. and colleges need to be able to know how well you can write; it also depends on your interests and strengths.. writing wont be so important for a math major than it would be for a literature or history major, yet the math major still will need to be able to write |
