ACT No Writing

<p>I have taken the ACT three times. I took it two years ago with writing and got a 29. I took it last June without writing because I had a dance recital, and I got a 33. I took it again several weeks ago with writing, but I was testing as a standby because I thought I was busy that weekend, and when I realized I wasn't, registration had closed. I don't think that test score will come in time for my December 1st applications, since I didn't indicate those schools when I took the test. </p>

<p>I looked on the Texas A & M website, and they say, "The highest test score with writing component from one test date will be used. (All test scores must contain scores from the writing component.)" The impression I got from Purdue was that as long as I had one score with writing, I could send in more score even without writing. I didn't consider that some schools might not accept that. Does the quote above mean there is no point in sending in my 33?</p>

<p>email someone there and ask them.</p>

<p>i know they are pretty strict about that, so if the 33 would make you an auto admit, i am sure it will not suffice.</p>

<p>my DD was in the same boat. took one test with writing and took the next without. a&m told us they would not “count” the test without writing.</p>

<p>I see. Thank you for your reply. I just found out that the deadline was a little later than I thought, so I’ll see if my new score will come in time.</p>
