ACT 2nd try

<p>Okay, so if i scored high on the essay portion the first time, 11/12 (a score i am extremely satisfied with), but my composite score was not so high 27, and i plan to retake the ACT. Can i just take the ACT without writing, submit the composite score of that one, hopefully its high, and submit the essay score of my first try?</p>

<p>I don’t believe that colleges will mix and match between the ACT with writing and ACT without writing. I could be wrong though…</p>
