Writing score on OCT SAT

<p>I had a none wrong and two omission yet my mult choice was a 76, does that make sense? And i got an 8 (horrible) on my essay for a 730. Could this be wrong?</p>

<p>It should be a 78, shouldn’t it?</p>

<p>No your score out of 80 is your scaled score of your multiple choice, not the raw score. It is basically the same thing as out of 800 on math or critical reading. There are only 49 questions in both writing sections and that raw score out of 49 is used in some formula to get your score out of 80.</p>
