<p>umm, there is one thing i dont know, and that is how much the essay weighs in on ur overall writing score? is the MC part and the essay independent? if u do well on MC but poorly on writing, will it hurt you alot?</p>
<p>Simply go to a big bookstore and check out The Official SAT Study Guide. Go to the back of any one of the practice tests and look at the scoring charts. You can see how the essay and m/c raw scores are combined to calculate a single scaled score.</p>
