<p>Last May I took the ACT and scored a 31 with a 28 writing. I signed up to take the ACT again in September, but this time I selected the no writing option. Is this going to be a problem? If I have to send both my ACT scores, will colleges that require writing not consider my second ACT because it doesn't have a writing portion? </p>
<p>Anyone?</p>
<p>Yes, colleges that require writing will not consider your second ACT.</p>
<p>So most colleges then?</p>
<p>Also, is there anyway to change my scheduled ACT to include writing without paying the $24 late registration fee?</p>
<p>Help please! This is urgent!</p>
<p>You need writing. Most colleges don’t accept ACT’s without writing. I read a thread how someone got a 36 without writing, but it didn’t count for Princeton. </p>
<p>Send a note to the ACT organization and ask how to add the writing.</p>
<p>Also, in the grand scheme of college and its cost $24 isn’t too bad. Better to be safe than sorry later.</p>
<p>Look up what the requirements are for the colleges you are planning on applying to, but for the most part they require writing (in other words the scores from your second test won’t be accepted)</p>
<p>For OP check the web sites for schools. If they want a writing section on ACT it does not necessarily mean than EVERY test date must have a writing score. Most would require you to submit test score with writing, but you could also submit a composite score (presumably higher) without writing that would still count. </p>
<p>hmmm…the highest you can get on the writing portion of the ACT is a 12…are you maybe adding in your english score? In any case, as others have noted, you really can’t turn in the ACT without writing unless you plan on submitting an SAT score as well…</p>
<p>@Antarius the $24 dollars isn’t the problem it’s the fact that the registration date has already passed. So there would be that fee and there is no guarantee that there will be stops open if I re-register.</p>
