I got a 36 on my ACT composite and an 8888 on my essay. I feel like my writing score is lower than expected - should I retake the test? Or is requesting rescoring worth it?
No college will care what your essay is when you have a 36 ACT.
The writing portion has been revamped many times over the past couple of years. There has been little time to show the reliability of it, so most colleges are either not considering it or valuing essay scores at a lower weight.
Thank you!
