Actually, they're taking away 2 sections as well.
Say bye-bye to quanatative (sp?) comparisons and analogies. Say hello to some good ol' writing. |

I think it's about time they should add something for writing. A great example of how badly we need this are the grammical errors around createblog.

I think they are going to take out the analogies and put in the writing instead. I would so prefer that because it's easier. I'm good at writing (well pretty good) and it's so much better than knowing what all those words mean. It makes it less strenuous because they have a higher basis on grading you. It's not like something that you will either get wrong or right, it's how you come forward to whatever issue you're writing about.

Personally, I thought the writing was so much easier than the analogies, those were so......... pointless and hard. But reading and writing was so much easier than math.
Asking for my score is like asking how much I weight. Hehe, but I did well enough to get scholarships.

If I were to take the SAT 2 with writing and no anologies....750-800 english right there. Anologies kill me. I own the reading comprehension and sentence completion though  Analogies really do lean towards logic though. Good riddance to those suckers. |

i saw your "almost a mutt" and i assumed you were mixed. i wasn't drilled for it either really, but i'm a minority. my friends all started doing SAT books back in 4th grade.

Man.. I am bad at writing! LoL when I write any essays, I alwsyas use thesaurus and stuff lol and dictionaries
So hmm... I guess I'm going to fail the writing part. But I mean, hopefully it won't be too difficult. Yea analogies are tough  But I mean, i did them alot in 7th grade and I sort of understand how to do them. But then again, that was like 3 years ago AND near the end of the schoolyear my teacher gave me like these tough ones where I didn't even know a single word on the paper. >_<"Anyhow yea maybe it is easier. But your hand will hurt more because of the fact that you'll have to write more rather than the original "bubbling in the circles." WHo knows, hopefully it will be easier for a dunce like me

Nope.
From what I've seen from some members in createBlog, they are in MAJOR need of some writing skills and verbal skills. And from alot of other people in the outside world. If you take away that stuff from the SATs, well..no one would care..and people would be writing like... Should no people eats fishes? |

Writing is going to be easier then most of you are giving it credit for.
It wont be so much about your vocab content + spelling, it'll be more about how you approach and support your statements or whatever. Keep it structured and use lots of examples. You should do just fine. |
