Why is the writing curve so much harsher than the reading curve?

Test Preparation SAT Preparation
1

<p>Do you actually find writing relatively easier than reading? How come grammars just don’t like me? </p>

<p>If you have any suggestions for writing please share them. I am in desperate need of advice for writing. Thanks in advance.</p>

2

<p>With a high essay score, the Writing curve is rather lenient.</p>

3

<p>Writing has a harsher curve because there are fewer questions in comparison to Critical Reading.</p>

<p>As for help in writing: just do official practice tests and review what you miss.</p>

<p>Technically speaking, the writing curve is simply higher because more people out of the overall group score better on the writing section. Generally speaking though, the writing section is indeed easier than the critical reading in that it simply tests established, unchanging rules and grammatical trends. The CR section, however, tests high-level vocabulary which is of variable difficulty and requires a high level of critical reasoning for the passage based questions.</p>

5

<p>What about the math curve? Now that’s a b*tch.</p>

6

<p>Why is the reading curve easier on you? Because it’s actually hard.</p>

7

<p>I don’t really have a problem with math so no worries about the math curve. But I do agree that math curve is the harshest. </p>

<p>Writing is like the eternal cause of my heartache no matter what. Maybe it is because it deals with more details that can be easily ignored by someone as careless (maybe it is an excuse, don’t know) as me. I can easily slip into overthinking too and it caused huge problem for my Jan test. </p>

<p>Something a little bit antagonistic: is it really that important to memorize that it is “resemblance to” not “resemblance of”? I understand that comma splice and fragments are important concepts, but prepositions? Oh yeah the phrases are remains of the ancestors so we are supposed to respect them. But the beauty of language lies in the fact that langugage allows us to communicate. I just don’t get why we are scrutinizing some little details when each one of us understands what other people are talking about.</p>
