Hey SoYoung Student! =)

That's a great question. Many curious students have asked similar questions. I think the following information will help.

These are the Writing curves for actual SAT exams during 2016-2019. The Raw Score is how many questions you get wrong out of 44 total. The scores beneath the dates are the Scaled Scores, or converted score. Just add a zero to the scaled score to get your SAT Writing score (400 points maximum). I think students should aim for a 350+ on the writing section. Based on this goal, you want to be concistently getting fewer than 5 wrong for the Writing section, although getting four wrong can sometimes get you a score of 330.

Below are the Reading curves from 2016-2019. If you get a 350 on Writing, then that means you want to get a 350 on Reading to achieve a total score of 700. If that's the case, you can miss about 5-7 questions on the Reading section, depending on how generous the curve is. Now, of course, the higher your Writing score is, the more questions you can afford to miss on the Reading section. You can play around with the numbers to see what you would need - on average - to get a 700 on the Reading + Writing sections. If your writing is stronger than your reading (which is the case for most students), then aim for fewer than three wrong on the Writing section. This will give you more leeway on the Reading section.

Hope this information helps! Keep Moving Forward!
