I personally wish there was a writing section when I took my SAT's. I do very poorly on Standarized tests and subsiquently did poorly on the SAT, a 3.8 GPA and a soccer scholorship got me into a good school. After taking the Praxis (standardized test fro teachers), I can understand how writing section helps. Facts are not important on these tests the structure of writing is. Introduction a thesis statement supporting paragraphs and a conclusion. If the SATs board is going to keep the writing portion in the test which I suspect they will they should ask for opinion essays that the student has to support by fact.
The writing section is a good idea because people test in a variety of styles, it will help students who might get boggled and can't think straight reading so many simular questions in a row.
