Perfect Mechanics = Perfect Score?

<p>I can confidently say that I have near perfect mechanics, spelling, and grammar (the mathematics of language), but have the personality and descriptive ability of a rock or other inanimate object.</p>

<p>Would this get me a perfect score on the Writing section of the SAT, or should I practice my adverbs?</p>

<p>That won’t get you a perfect score.</p>

<p>‘studying’ for the SAT is different from ‘having mental aptitudes.’ So, STUDY SAT STyle Writing to ace SAT Writing particularly.</p>

<p>I wish wat u said was true. but sadly that isn’t responsible for sumone’s success in the SAT</p>

<p>you don’t need any creativity or personality to take the SAT. Even the essay is simply following a rigid format.</p>

<p>for me I wrote something interesting but still basic 5 paragraph thing, had many grammatical errors and got a 12. So, the onyl way to know how you will do is to practice and have someone score them (not you though, b.c you wrote it and will be either too harsh or too lenient).</p>

<p>Why dont you take a practice test and find out! :slight_smile: Though I think learning the test strategies are just as important as knowing the concepts.</p>

<p>No. The essay is scored holistically…usage and mechanics are only one component of the rubric.</p>

<p>No – I had near-perfect grammar and usage (and am quite sure that I didn’t make egregious spelling errors), but scored an 8.</p>
