ACT essay: who needs it and how it is scored

Test Preparation
3

You can reach out to specific schools and find out which one of these 3 camps they fall in:

  1. Require and consider ACT writing for your child’s graduating class (as mentioned, many are changing rules for Class of 2017)
  2. Don’t require, but will consider ACT writing if submitted
  3. Don’t require and will NOT consider ACT writing if submitted

Hopefully, they all fall into camp #3, and you won’t have to worry about the bad writing score
