<p>Tokenadult,
Are you sure about that??
Because according to everyone I’ve talked to:
each point on the essay is worth 20 points
so 12 on the essay is 12 X 20 = 240 points!!</p>
<p>Check the model scoring in any copy of the Official Guide to the SAT.</p>
<p>I can’t WAIT for the scores… I don’t think I’ve gone 2 minutes straight without thinking or saying the word “SAT”…</p>

<p>Stuck on 1700, I got an 800 with a 10 on the essay, so that can’t be right.</p>
<p>koolcrud- did you get any multiple choice wrong?</p>
<p>No, I got those all right.</p>
<p>whoa…u guys be patient…scores WILL be here…</p>
<p>thats all</p>
<p>The last few hours are hardest to wait!</p>
<p>I’m waiting till lunch time tomorrow so my friend and I can see our scores at the same time.</p>
<p>I’ll check when I wake up 6:45 AM EST -_-</p>
<p>between 110-180 points on most test forms. CB says it’s worth “200 points” (or “30% of your score”, or “half as much as the multiple choice” i.e. 33.3%), but it almost never is, exactly. The essay is worth around 120 points for the top and bottom of the curve, and 180 points in between.
The difference between a 2 and a 12 is approximately 160 points, but again, closer to 110 at the extremes.
On the 0-12 scale, each point you move up (e.g. move from a 9 to a 10) averages out to about 15-16 points.</p>
<p>For those of you who are having a ball in AP Stats right now, you’ll be interested to know that how much the essay is worth on each administration (the essay’s super-secret raw score that you’ll never see) is probably the result of dividing the multiple choice’s z-scores by the z-scores for the essay to get the ratio of the two, and then using that as the scale factor to multiply the 2-12 grades by. Then they add that essay raw score to the MC raw score, and stretch the combo scores over a bell curve. There’s a couple other ways they could equate by standard deviation, too. Place your bets. Or maybe they do something totally different. Perhaps they give your essay to the CB mascot, who sniffs it. If he wags his tail, you get a 6. If he, ummm, expresses his criticism directly on it, then you get a 1. A second dog is also shown your essay…etc.</p>
<p>For those of you who haven’t taken Stats, you obviously don’t care, so why are you still reading this?</p>
