Not important.

That being said, don't super fail it.

Well seeing as how about half the entering class of 2017 won't even have a writing score I doubt admissions will use it at all this cycle,

Just be some what literate, and use commas. Use paragraphs, and limit run on sentences. You will be fine. I barely tired on mine, and did alright.

Don't worry about it. I just took it yesterday and the writing section was just like an extended break period for me. If you can formulate sentences and stay on topic you will be fine.

Follow the instructions and give them what they want, you should be fine. Rememmber: 1 paragraph defending the statement, 1 paragraph arguing against the statement, 1 resolving in which situations the statement is true. That's the bare minimum, dont tYpE Lyke Zis. You really can't mess it up that much
