Is my friend right or is he an idiot? about SAT scores?

Question

He says that alot of schools disregard the writing section when evaluating your score.Is this true? Also how good is a 1230/1600. he claims its as good as a 2030/2400. is he right?.

Answer 1

he's right- the writing section matters by far the least and some schools completely disregard it (all the better ones do anyways)... and a 2030 is like a 1340/1600

your friend's not an idiot

Answer 2

no, 2030 is like over 1300 on original SAT, maybe he seriously screwed up the first time

Answer 3

yes

alot of schools disregard writing scores since they think it's insuffficient to explain the applican'ts ability.

but don't let that section pull your scores down!
