<p>Is a 34 with an 8 on writing worth retaking? I know I can probably do a little better because I didn't do much ACT-specific studying and I got a 2300 on the SAT with an 800 on writing. My subject tests are what worry me, so should I take the ACT again (it can replace the need for subject tests for most of my colleges)?</p>
<p>If you are senior, then I would say you should focus on your essays and the rest of your application. You would not gain much by retaking ACT as you already have 2300/34. Even if you don’t need to do any practice and you are sure you can get a 35/36 this time, it may be late for EA/ED which would have a bigger impact on your admission.</p>
<p>Don’t take it again. You can devote your time to helping your application in big ways with the time it would take you to prepare and improve your score by a point.</p>
<p>No, absolutely not.</p>
<p>Honestly this is a dumb question. You have like an amazing score and your worried?</p>
<p>Only if all your missing points are in one section.</p>
<p>If they are all close to your average plus or minus 2 you won’t improve any.</p>
