So I just took the ACT recently and I got a 36, but my parents think my writing score (8) is too low for the competitive colleges. About how much weight do colleges put on writing?
Do not retake. That score is wonderful. Congratulations!
I posted similar thread. My son got the same exact scores – 36C and only an 8 in writing. First time he took he got a 33C but a 10 in writing. Wondering if the 8 will affect his chances
@PurpleFlux No, do not retake. The 8 will not impact your chances netatively. @slb176, same for you.
Most schools don’t put much weight on the writing score as long as it’s a solid score. Don’t retake or anything. Congrats on the 36.
