October 1, 2011 SAT

<p>I have three section on the writing portion, and some people have only two writing portion. So I was wondering how is the writing portion graded? Do people who have only two writing portion get lower than those who have three? Also, I think the math portion of this October SAT test is relatively easy. </p>

<p>3 writing sections + the essay you mean? </p>

<p>It’s called an experimental section - personally I had 4 CR sections. You will not receive a lower score, all that the extra section is is an ungraded test for the collegeboard. Obviously they need to continue to make new test questions, and the experimental section allows the collegeboard to test the difficulty of these questions before they choose whether or not to implement them as a graded portion of the test.</p>
